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

Harry Aveling

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

Keywords


Social constructivism; Translation pedagogy; Transmissionist teaching
