ESSAY: 
TRANSLATION STRATEGIES

Nowadays the translation is in all our environments, nevertheless the people one does not give gutter of the importance that has the translation in the life and in the culture; and not only it, but also the importance that has in the diffusion and interpretation not only of the art but of the knowledge. Later I will announce a personage where it will announce the possible strategies for promote to the students in the translation.

Atkinson (1987) suggests that activities that involve some translation promote guessing strategies amongst students and helps reduce the word-for- word translation that often occurs and which results in inappropriate L2 use.
Three possible reasons have been identified to allow limited use of the L2 for Atkinson (1987):
a.       It is of the " favorite strategy of the pupil ". If the opportunity is given them, the pupils will choose that the teacher provides the translation, specially in the lowest levels.
b.      The students could use his L2 it is a feature of humanist education, since it allows to the students to say what they want and, therefore, to avoid the frustration.
c.       To use grammatical aspects to give complex instructions can apologize for the fact that it helps to save time.


Atkinson considers that in spite of the fact that the L2 recovers a certain paper in class, it is important not to forget, as it has been observed previously in this analysis, that the interaction in the language goal is a vital part to progress in the learning of the new language. Therefore, an excessive dependence is not recommended in the L1 and L2, since the following thing can happen:
1.      The teacher and the students can feel that "really" they haven´t understood anything until it has been translated.

2.      The teacher and  the students are unable to observe differences between the uses of the words of the L1 and the L2, simplifying up to the point of using inaccurate translations.
3.      The students during the course speak to the teacher in his mother language, even when already they can express enough good what they want.


In conclusion, there must be stimulated his constant and voluntary use not only in the activities and in the own practices of communication of the program of education, but also in the processes of communication that develop of spontaneous form between the teacher and the students.

ESSAY: TRANSLATION AS A PEDAGOGICAL TOOL TO IMPROVE ENGLISH SKILLS Vanessa Leonardi states in her book “The Role of Pedagogical Translation in Second Language Acquisition” that “Translation can help improve foreign language teaching and learning”. This concept refers to the role of translation as an enriching strategy to enhance the development of English skills such as, Reading and Writing in the learning process of a Second language. Even though, translation it’s not used nowadays as the only method to teach English, it’s slowly coming back as a reliable complement in the set of teaching techniques. The art of translating from L1 to L2 was one on the main teaching strategies (if not the only one in some cases) to learn a Foreign a Language for decades. Since the 18 th century it was used as the most effective method for the acquisition of a second language. Through the “Traditional Method”, presented by the American professor Sears in 1845, the translation of literature b...

ESSAY: COMMUNICATION SKILLS TRASLATION? Kavaliauskienė G. (2009) says that translation does not help students to develop communication skills. Translation activities may be suitable for students who prefer analytical or verbal-linguistic learning strategies. I say that Communication skills are known as writing, reading, speaking and listening. We have been developing these skills since we were young, starting with writing, the most basic is the alphabet, words like colors, animals and other subjects, with this skill we practice the translation, it also happens with speaking we relate it with writing and to be able to speaking and listening we must know the grammar or writing and reading; then we can say that everything is related. The proficiency in different language skills is of utmost importance to students at tertiary level. According to Duff (1989), for the last two decades teachers and students have started to use translation to teach / learn English language (Duff, 19...

How to learn a foreign language and teaching methodologies are commented topics not only by teachers but also for language learners, in learning process there is not an only truth for anything, humans are very variable and different, so the education area is a constant battle of studies and arguments to expose different views, the translation as an activity in the language learning process has not been an exception, causing all kind of opinions, since people who do not approve it to people who think that translation is a good activity and it might have benefits for students in different ways, one of them is Alan Duff who identified three essential purposes of translation as an activity in language learning, he affirms that “translation trains the learner to search (flexibility) for the most appropriate words (accuracy) to convey what is meant (clarity)” , thinking carefully I agree with this postulate and...
