Translation And Language Teaching In Higher Education: Shortcomings And Implications

Authors : Fatima Zohra Ennebati .

Abstract

After many decades of being banished and marginalised in foreign language teaching, translation is gradually gaining momentum and being re-introduced as a viable activity in modern language degree courses. Such a shift is not an entirely problem-free though it can offer new opportunities in the field of language learning and teaching. This paper aims at exploring some of the controversies surrounding the use of translation in language teaching and opening up the scope of reflection for more research in this area. It will also discuss the results drawn from a questionnaire completed by LMD 2 english students from the university of Tlemcen.
