This dissertation aims to propose an approach to translation pedagogy along two main guidelines: a) evaluating the traditional approaches to translation pedagogy with a view to designing a more ecclectic approach b) implementing computer-assisted tools to translation pedagogy based on classroom and other experimental activities.The ecclectic approach proposed in this dissertation highlights the importance of including computers in teaching translation and other computer-assisted tools (machine translation, translation memories such as Trados') to improve the students' performance and preparation for professional translation.
