Translation in Language Learning: A ‘What For’ Approach

Translation in Language Learning: A ‘What For’ Approach

Description

Literature about translation in language learning and teaching shows the
prominence of the ‘for and against’ approach, while a ‘what for’ approach would be
more profitable. In order to prevent the latter approach from becoming a random list of
the potential benefits of the use of translation in language teaching, this essay suggests the use of a formal model of communicative competence, to see which of its components
can profit of translation activities. The result is a map of the effects of translation in the
wide range of competences and abilities which constitute language learning.
