Touching upon many of the phenomena that currently affect translation pedagogy, this volume provides a valuable opportunity for translation educators to reconceptualize their mission. As such, it makes a significant contribution to translator education.

Especially valuable in this book is the focus on translational communicative competence and the relevance of pragmatic and socio-cultural factors to translation as process and product. The analyses and arguments presented in this book bring new insights to a very important area within translation studies: translation pedagogy. I believe that this book is a useful reference and is an asset to any library. In particular, I would recommend it for teachers of translation, translation trainers, and graduate students of translation.

In short, a cornucopia for anyone engaged in translator training.
