Abstract:

A groundbreaking reconsideration of translation in English language teaching,this book is a survey and critical assessment of arguments for and againsttranslation in different teaching contexts.

This book proposes translation as one of a number of ways of relating English tostudents own languages. It surveys the contexts of monolingual and bilingualteaching and discusses the different uses and roles of translation andbilingualisation for different stages and ages of learning and for differentpurposes, e.g. explanation, practice, and testing. Establishing a new direction inpractice and research, it goes on to suggest and discuss ways in whichtranslation might be incorporated into materials, curriculum development, andteacher education.

The book presents translation as:An aid to language acquisition, pedagogy, and testing.A contribution to student needs, rights, and empowerment.An educational insight into relationships between languages and cultures.
