Establishing a new direction in practice and research, it goes on to suggest and discuss ways in which translation might be incorporated into materials, curriculum development, and teacher education. The book presents translation as: An aid to language acquisition, pedagogy, and testing.A contribution to student needs, rights, andempowerment.An educational insight intorelationships between languages and cultures. |
