Material Detail

This handbook is designed to help you incorporate translation into your world language classroom as a mediational tool for student acquisition of linguistic and cultural meaning. For the purposes of this manual, translation is understood as a process of mediation across languages rather than linguistic transfer or equivalence.

Section 1 presents the historical background of translation in the classroom, followed by a justification of the reintroduction of translation in the classroom in section 2. Section 3 will provide an overview of how to incorporate translation into your classroom, and section 4 offers lesson plans with explanations of how to use them. The handbook ends with section five, a series of more translation activities for you to apply on your own.
