Translation and Interpreting-Oriented Language Learning and Teaching (TILLT): Where Do We Stand?

Abstract

Language training in translation and interpreting programmes has invariably been, and continues to be, on the fringes of Translation Studies. In this article, I provide an overview of the research output classified by topic and type of publication. Moreover, I offer an analysis of those areas that have received most attention in the existing literature, namely goals and methodology, and show the points on which there is most agreement. Finally, I briefly refer to emerging research questions in this area, as well as to avenues for further research, and argue why TILLT (Translation and Interpreting-Oriented Language Learning and Teaching) should move towards adopting an interdisciplinary approach.
