This book is geared towards translation teachers, graduate students as well as researchers of translation studies. It provides answers to some fundamental issues and questions that each and every translation teacher may face in their teaching. These issues will also be of interest to graduate students of translation studies since many of them are indeed translation teachers in the making. Besides, the data-based research projects reported in the book may inspire graduate students who are searching for ideas for their theses and/or research methods to carry out their research projects. Some may even simply replicate some of the projects contained therein as the designs and methods can be easily transferred to a new research context with minimal modification.
