Incorporating Translation in the World Language Classroom
A Teacher's Guide to Best Practice
Sonia Colina and Sarah Albrecht
|
|
|
|
This handbook is designed to help teachers incorporate translation into their world language classroom as a mediational tool for student acquisition of linguistic and cultural meaning. For the purposes of this manual, translation is understood as a process of mediation across languages rather than linguistic transfer or equivalence.
Section 1 presents the historical background of translation in the classroom, followed by a justification of the reintroduction of translation in the classroom in section 2. Section 3 provides an overview of how to incorporate translation into the classroom, and section 4 offers lesson plans with explanations of how to use them. The handbook ends with section five, a series of additional translation activities for educators to apply on their own.

Application deadline: October 15th. Because of the hands-on nature of this event, registration will be capped at 15 people.
Pedagogical translation is making a comeback in the multilingual language classroom as an activity that promotes literacy, metalinguistic and cultural awareness, translanguaging, language diversity, and community engagement. While theoretical papers on this topic are becoming more common, practical guidance for teachers on how to incorporate translation in their curriculum in an informed manner is scarce. After briefly reviewing the historical context that banned translation, the justification for its reintroduction, and the roles translation can serve in language learning, (see past webinar, and Incorporating Translation in the World Language Classroom), the presenters will work with participants to help them create their own lesson plans and activities for introducing translation in their multilingual language classrooms. Participants will be asked to submit a draft lesson/idea to work on in the workshop.
➣ Participants must apply to take part in this small interactive workshop by the October 15 deadline; they will be notified of their acceptance status and invited to register on October 22nd.

Teachers of Critical Languages Program
|
|
Is your school or district interested in hosing a teacher of Arabic or Chinese in 2022?
The Teachers of Critical Languages Program (TCLP) funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State and helps U.S. K-12 schools to launch new or expand existing Arabic or Chinese language programs by placing fully-funded teachers from Egypt, Morocco, or China to teach Arabic or Chinese as a foreign language for an academic year. By sharing their languages and cultures, the teachers bring global competencies to their host schools and communities.
Since 2006, TCLP has sponsored over 300 highly trained teachers that have worked in schools across 39 states and impacted over 87,500 students! TCLP teachers have also collectively conducted over 25,500 hours of cultural outreach to bring international experiences to their host schools and communities.
The application deadline for TCLP host schools is Friday, October 22, 2021 at 11:59pm EST.
