'Teaching Translation: Theory, Practice and Technological Innovations' (2024) by Nabil Al-Awawdeh is a comprehensive and forward-looking work that explores the evolving landscape of translation pedagogy. The book bridges theoretical foundations with practical classroom strategies, offering valuable insights for translation educators, students, and researchers. The book emphasizes the integration of AI and CAT tools in translator training, aligning with current professional demands while advocating for student-centred, technologically enhanced learning environments. While commendable for its clarity, organization, and pedagogical depth, the book could benefit from a more critical engagement with the ethical challenges of machine translation and more empirical data on the effectiveness of innovative teaching methods. Overall, this work represents a significant contribution to translation studies, offering a timely and strategic guide for modernizing translation education. It is recommended for adoption by translation instructors, researchers, and curriculum designers who seek to align their educational practices with the evolving demands of the translation industry.
