Translation and Own-language Activities

Abstract

Translation and Own-language Activities is by and large a very useful text to expand instructors' menu of teaching techniques. In light of the fact that NNES (non-native English speaker) teachers outnumber NES (native English speaker) teachers and continue to grow (Medgyes, p. 433), there is a dire need for teaching literature which enriches the resources of instructors who can leverage L1 to actually aid acquisition rather than literature which simply argues the case for L1 use from a theoretical standpoint.
