Translation Pedagogy

This article discusses the pedagogical role of translation and its relationship with methods of teaching foreign languages. Translation in education has a long history in foreign language pedagogy. Translation was the only method -along with grammar- that was employed in foreign language classrooms. This long-established relation between language pedagogy and translation was then attacked after the 18th century and translation was accused of hindering good language use. It was claimed to impede the process of understanding and linguistic thinking. However, translation regained its status within language teaching methods recently through the approaches of cognitive psychology and the universal grammar. The article also reviews the evaluative role of translation as a testing technique for measuring translation skills and assessing proficiency in foreign languages. Translation is also a school subject that needs special to be taught through special teaching techniques. In order to so, translation skills are deconstructed to sub-skills on the kernel levels. The article also reviews the different approaches to designing translation curricula. It is concluded that the educational role of translation should appear clearly in the contemporary endeavors to establish Translation Studies as an independent and differentiated discipline that should be hosted in an independent university department separate from departments of foreign languages. The study program for this department should thus include important aspects of translation pedagogy and field-oriented training.

Selected Functions

The peer review method is one of the problem learning methods. Its essence lies in the mutual study of each other’s written works by students in order to comment and evaluate them for further revision. Like any teaching method, the peer review method has linguodidactic properties – characteristics that underlie it, essential for the methods of teaching foreign languages and distin-guishing this method from others. Also, the method of peer review has specific linguodidactic functions – an external manifestation of the linguodidactic properties of the teaching method, which show what educational and cognitive tasks are solved by using this method in practice in foreign language teaching. Based on the analysis of the literature, the following linguodidactic functions of this method are identified: a) the development of student mentoring in teaching; b) sharing of responsibility by students for mastering the educational material; c) the use of blended learning in the implementation of the peer review method; d) changing the role of a teacher from a “bearer of knowledge” to a moderator of educational and cognitive activities of students; e) changing the ratio between classroom and extracurricular educational and cognitive activities of students; f) reduction of the terms of checking students’ training written works. The work describes in detail each of the selected functions.

Status Differences

Abstract In the ten years since the Modern Language Association published their report, “Foreign Languages and Higher Education: New Structures for a Changed World” (2007) dissatisfaction with the “two-tiered configuration” of US foreign language departments has become increasingly vocal. While the target of the criticism is often the curriculum, it has often been noted that programmatic bifurcations mirror institutional hierarchies, e.g. status differences between specialists in literary and cultural studies and experts in applied linguistics and language pedagogy (e.g. Maxim et al., 2013; Allen & Maxim, 2012). This chapter looks at the two-tiered structure of collegiate modern language departments from the perspectives of the transdisciplinary shape-shifters who maneuver within them – scholars working between applied linguistics and literary studies. These individuals must negotiate the methodologies and the institutional positions available to them – in many instances, the latter is what has prompted them to work between fields in the first place. The particular context of US foreign language and literature departments serves as a case study of the lived experiences of doing transdisciplinary work in contexts that are characterized by disciplinary hierarchies and the chapter ends with a call for applied linguistics to consider not only the epistemic, but also the institutional and affective labor needed to sustain transdisciplinary work.

Today, there is a rapid increase in education, therefore, knowledge of foreign languages has become one of the main problems in monitoring the development of the global information and digital economy in our country. Therefore, to improve the foreign language, various pedagogical technologies and methods of teaching the language are used. We know that oral and written speech skills are skills that can be achieved with great difficulty. This project analyses the development of oral and written speech using pedagogical technologies and teaching text types. Particular attention is paid to the development of students' communication skills using pedagogical technologies. These technologies help students gain confidence in self-expression. Therefore, the use of these technologies in lessons effectively develops oral and written speech, provides communication and an exciting learning process.

The Creation

This chapter reports on the creation and evaluation of the Language Education Videogame Evaluation Rubric (LEVER) which, it is hoped, will be of benefit to those involved in the teaching and learning of foreign languages. Based upon a sociocultural model of language development, this research is unique in the manner in which it draws on up-to-date best practice in the domains of both language pedagogy and videogame design. This chapter will then report on the application of the LEVER to two titles which have been created to teach a foreign language, in order to both to test the games for quality and the rubric itself for rigour and ease-of-use.

the article deals with the directions in the methodology of teaching foreign language to students of secondary schools and cadets and students of educational organizations of the Ministry of internal Affairs. The issue of the General educational role of teaching foreign languages is discussed. Attention is paid to the discussion of the point of view of some Methodists about the place and role of the theoretical and descriptive aspect of teaching. Proponents of this theory believe that this aspect is the essence of the General educational function of language teaching, and sometimes argue that it should be considered as the main content of learning and its main purpose. In the existing methodological concepts, two points deserve the sharpest criticism: the wrong understanding of the General educational meaning of foreign languages and the resulting erroneous definition of the content and essence of teaching. Ready-made signs of a language, its systems of elements and structures can and should be studied separately as the sum of phenomena and facts of language in the corresponding theoretical courses; but specific types of communicative activity are always mastered, where the "lexical", "grammatical" and "phonetic" aspects appear in an indissoluble organic unity, because not only in any act of language communication, but also in any sign of a sound language, there are both "vocabulary", "grammar", and "phonetics". From the General purpose of teaching a foreign language at school, it follows that it cannot be reduced to the development of any one type of communication activity (for example, reading or speaking), since this would unacceptably narrow the practical value of learning; the school should lay the Foundation for using all four main types: speaking, listening, reading to oneself and writing.

The purpose of this study is to determine the role of language clichés in the practice of teaching foreign languages and, in particular, Russian as a foreign language. In the course of the study, the relevant features of language clichés were identified, including those that distinguish them from phraseological units; the classification of language clichés by the functions of language expressions is made; and the methodology for them in relation to a foreign audience is described. In addition, it was found that the use of clichés as the most stable reproducible linguistic terms in a foreign language, helps to avoid errors associated with the wrong lexical collocation, and also contributes to a more correct expression of thoughts for a given language which in turn makes the communication more effective and responsive to the communicative tasks of its participants. In this regard, language clichés should be paid a special attention, both by researchers and teachers, in this case working with foreigners. It should be kept in mind that there might be no such fixed phrases in the language of foreign students, or they can have a different structure, which means that in many times students cannot independently recognize and purposefully memorize such units; that is why all the necessary semantic work with such language clichés should be carried out in class.

Se presentan resultados de una investigación exploratoria sobre la enseñanza de la escritura y la formación en su didáctica en un programa universitario que forma profesores de lenguas extranjeras. La propuesta se inscribe en la intersección de los estudios de escritura en la universidad con la formación de docentes y con la didáctica de lenguas, ejes que atraviesan el currículo de la Licenciatura. El objetivo fue caracterizar la didáctica de la escritura en la primera fase del programa de estudios, para lo cual se examinaron prácticas de enseñanza de la escritura en lenguas extranjeras (inglés y francés) en los semestres 1 a 4. Metodológicamente, se optó por un estudio colectivo de casos y por trabajo colaborativo con colegas docentes. La entrevista semiestructurada, el grupo focal y la observación no participante aportaron los datos y para su procesamiento se utilizó el análisis de contenido y la triangulación. Encontramos que los profesores tienen un fuerte sentido de responsabilidad en relación con la enseñanza de la escritura orientada desde la didáctica de lenguas extranjeras. La enseñanza se configura de maneras diversas, no siempre conscientes o intencionales para servir como modelo didáctico para los docentes en formación y no se evidenciaron saberes estructurados y compartidos sobre didáctica de la escritura en las disciplinas. Queda abierta la pregunta por la formación en didáctica de la escritura como parte de las competencias profesionales de los profesores de lenguas extranjeras.   This article presents the results of an exploratory study on the teaching of writing and the training in writing didactics in a foreign language teaching training program at a university. The proposal sits at the intersection of writing studies at university with teacher training and language didactics, axes of the curriculum of the BA. The objective was to characterize the didactics of writing in the first phase of the study program,. To this end, the teaching of writing in foreign languages (English and French) in semesters 1 to 4 was examined. The methodology consisted of a collective case study and collaborative work with fellow teachers. The semi-structured interview, the focus group and the observations provided the data and content analysis and triangulation were used for its processing. We found that teachers have a strong sense of responsibility with the teaching of writing, oriented from the didactics of foreign languages. Teaching is configured in different ways, not always consciously or intentionally to serve as a didactic model for teacher training and there was no evidence of structured and shared knowledge about the didactics of writing in the specific subjects. The question of training in the didactics of writing as part of the professional competencies of foreign language teachers remains open.
