Introduction to Translation And Interpreting for Language Learners (TAIL), a joint publication of the online journal InTRAlinea (ISSN 1827-000X) and Collana AItLA 8 (ISBN 978-88-97657-XX-Y). This introduction presents the volume (453 pages) edited by Laurie Anderson, Laura Gavioli and Federico Zanettin in honour of Guy Aston, Anna Ciliberti and Daniela Zorzi. It highlights the importance of a renewed attention to the pedagogy of translating and interpreting both for translator/interpreter training and for foreign/second language learning. More specifically outlines emerging trends, and underlines the importance of considering how interpreter/translator training can be enhanced by greater attention to what happens in the classroom, and how can general language learning be furthered by recognising interpreting/translating as abilities worthy of attention alongside the traditional “four skills”.
