The aim of this article is to give an overview of three critical aspects so necessary if an instructor is to facilitate learning in his or her classroom and to provide a mini-workshop for those translators who wish to teach in the future. Three of the major components to be covered in this article are: syllabus writing, lesson planning, and cooperative learning. It should be noted that these three elements are among the most critical; testing and evaluation, as well as teaching methodology are equally important elements which must be dealt with separately.
