Selected papers from a lively conference on the state of the art in translator and interpreter training. Topics range from culture specific problems (in Iran, South Africa and Canada, for instance) to the internationalization of the profession. The book is brim-full of teaching ideas and strategies: problems of assessment, teaching translators to be professional and business oriented, using cognitive methods, terminology management, technical translation, literary translation, theory and practice, simultaneous/consecutive interpreting, subtitling and many other related topics.

This book gives us a great foundation upon which to build what is to come. The editors and the presenters have done humanity a great service, especially in an increasingly cosmopolitan world which has come to all of our doorsteps. -- Thomas Law, for Amazon.com and on his personal website http://tomlaw.org/bookreviews/teaching-translation-and-interpreting-training-talent-and-experience
