Routledge Guides to Teaching Translation and Interpreting is a series of practical guides to key areas of translation and interpreting for instructors, lecturers, and course designers. With professional realities now shaped by readily available translation technologies and generative AI, there is an urgent need to focus on the human aspects of literary translation. The research-based approach to teaching and learning in this volume draws on what translators, theorists, and researchers know about the translating mind to foster the next generation of translators. The six modes of translational thinking in this volume—the caring, sensuous, associative, relational, inquisitive, and reflective mind—are foregrounded as ways to take a human-centered approach to translation teaching, regardless of whether translation technologies are involved in professional translation contexts. Literary translation requires humans to take the lead, and this volume lays the foundation for a humanistic translation pedagogy. Designed to support customizing your classroom, 92 ready-to-use activities and commentaries illustrate how to foster a productive learning environment with course- and program-specific content and specific learning outcomes. This is the essential text for all instructors and lecturers teaching literary translation, translation theory, world literature and comparative literature.

"Embedded and embodied knowing (over mere knowledge), literary sensory studies, and self-knowledge are the stuff of the translator’s vocational and imaginational selves. The Routledge Guide to Teaching Literary Translation calibrates the wisdom of the body’s tuning forks: the senses, which heighten into aesthetic engagement; the emotions, which color our translational range; and mindfulness, which imbues a text with presence." Professor Kelly Washbourne, Kent State University"At a time when translation risks being reductively redefined as a 'simple' transfer of information, The Routledge Guide to Teaching Literary Translation reminds us that translating is a creative, embodied, and caring practice, capable of producing knowledge, stimulating curiosity, and promoting understanding. With its focus on modes of thinking, its clear steps-by-step structure and its range of activities, the Guide provides an invaluable tool for those engaged in teaching translation to a new generation of students and professionals." Professor Loredana Polezzi, Stony Brook University
