The Routledge Guide to Teaching Foreign Languages for Translation and Interpreting

The Routledge Guide to Teaching Foreign Languages for Translation and Interpreting is an essential resource for lecturers and course designers looking to develop a foreign language module within a translation and interpreting program.

It is also valuable for students and practicing translators and interpreters who wish to expand their linguistic repertoire by adding an additional language. This practical guide initiates a dialogue between translation studies and foreign language teaching, highlighting the distinctive nature of this training compared to other foreign language teaching contexts.

It explores key pedagogical aspects that enable language lecturers and course designers to align their teaching practices with the specific training needs of students in translation and interpreting programs. With a clear, practical approach, this volume aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice, addressing the lack of research and ready-made materials that can support lecturers in their teaching endeavors.

It integrates the theoretical foundations of TILLT (Translation and Interpreting-oriented Language Learning and Teaching) with practical teaching guidelines and resources designed to help language lecturers connect their instruction to the development of translation competence.
