A Labour Useful to Students: Contrasting Perspectives on Teaching Translation Studies

Abstract

Translation Pedagogy is one of the most under-developed fields of Translation Studies. This paper will provide an introduction to three different approaches to the teaching of Translation: the Classical European, the “transmissionist” approach and the contemporary “social constructivist” approach. The paper will show how the relationship between teacher and student varies in each of these models
