Translation in the Classroom: Revival and Survival
In the last few decades, translation seems to have been revived and its proper place reinstated (Cook, 2010; Vermes, 2010; Carreres & Noriega-Sánchez, 2011; Colinas, 2014; Gutiérrez, 2018). In this presentation, the author proposes to examine the nature and purpose of translation in foreign and second language learning and share some examples of how it can be used in college English classes in Japan.
