Pedagogical Translation for Language Teaching

By Sarah Albrecht

Pedagogical Translation for Language Teaching

By Sarah Albrecht

- Default Title
Description
This book combines translation and second language acquisition with literacy as a social practice for a powerful new approach to language teaching and learning. It provides the reader with transdisciplinary theoretical grounding, an overview of translation benefits and approaches, and sample translation activities as guidance for applying translation as a collaborative pedagogical tool in K-12 and postsecondary language-learning environments. These environments may range from monolingual with emergent bilinguals, bilingual, heritage, or world language (including English as a Foreign Language).
Recommended texts for translation across languages range from oral, written, and multimodal. Alongside these, all of the book's translation activities include suggestions for modification according to age, language level, and language-learning environment. Flexibility in formulation of language and literacy objectives and assessments is a key component, with potential modifications according to varying standards, such as CEFR, ACTFL, Common Core, and standards for biliteracy.
Readers from all language instruction environments will be able to understand the benefits of and need for pedagogical translation, incorporate pedagogical translation activities into already-established content, design and modify pedagogical translation activities, and develop standards-based objectives and evaluations for translation-based activities.
