Saying the Same Thing in Other Words? Questioning Common Sense about Mediation/Translation during Teacher Training for FL: Three Key Texts

Abstract

In the last decades, translation/linguistic mediation has gained prominence and relevance in the area of Foreign Language Teaching (FL). Even so, many works on this subject are still based on a common-sense understanding of translation/mediation that is incompatible with current approaches in the area of Translation Studies. In order to contribute to the training of competent FL teachers in the use and evaluation of linguistic mediation activities in classroom, this article presents three key texts of the field of Translation Studies and suggests their reading and study during the training process of FL teachers.

Keywords:
Mediation; Translation; FL teacher training
