Product description

Translation and Own-language Activities provides structured, practical advice and guidance for using students' own languages within the ELT classroom.

Translation and Own-language Activities provides structured, practical advice and guidance for using students' own languages within ELT classrooms. Taking into account both the growing interest and concerns about use of translation in English lessons, the book presents effective ways of integrating carefully chosen activities, covering themes such as tools, language skills, language focus and techniques. The practical activities range from using bilingual dictionaries to translating long texts, with a number of tasks drawing on easy-to-use web tools. The book also considers the relationship between translation and intercultural understanding.

Key features

  • Includes activities which make use of technology, drawing on a range of different tools.
  • Incorporates easy-to-use translation technology that is available to teachers and learners both inside and outside the classroom.
  • Discusses multilingual classrooms, as well as monolingual ones, at a range of ages and levels.
