Hanukkah Translation English

  The purpose of grammar translation then is to basically translate between L1 and L2 and vice versa. So, we could take a simple example. Let's imagine that our native language was English and our target language was French and let's assume that we want to translate a document from French into English. Let's take a simple sentence. Here's a sentence in French "Ouvre la fenêtre" and we'll add "s'il vous plaît" at the end. What we want to do is to take this L2 and translate it back into English. Now, if we have a reasonable knowledge of French then we may well know that this particular verb "ouvre" "to open" translates directly and this female form of the and finally the fenêtre "Open the window" and this polite form of "please". This is all very well if the two structures that...  [Read more]

The Direct Method is based on the idea that second language learning should be more like first language acquisition, focusing on oral communication and target language use from the beginning. This method emphasizes the use of the target language in the classroom, with a focus on vocabulary and phrases used in everyday situations.

In the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), the use of translators in the classroom can be a controversial topic. Some teachers view translators as a crutch that hinders students' language learning progress, while others see them as a valuable resource for facilitating communication and comprehension.

They can help students understand complex grammar concepts, clarify instructions, and provide support for students who may be struggling to express themselves in English. Translators can...  [Read more]

  Our next particular methodology is accredited to James Asher around 1965 and is called total physical response. Asher looked at the way in which we learn our native language and he saw that most children, before they even went to school, have picked up a very large percentage of both the grammar and the vocabulary that they would use in their native language before any type of formal schooling. So Asher started to have a look at ideas of how to use the whole of our brain in language learning in the way that we do when we're very young. It's accepted that within our brain there are two hemispheres, one is the left hemisphere the other is the right hemisphere, and one of the functions of the left hemisphere is language learning. One of the major functions of the right hemisphere is...  [Read more]
