Abstract

Abstract:While translation was once a key component of language teaching, throughout the twentieth century, it largely gave way to methods and approaches with a greater focus on communicative competence. However, efforts have been made in the past few decades to return translation and more generally multilingual language learning to classrooms. In the European and particularly the German context, translation was revived again at the start of the 21st century in the form of mediation, a communicative translational task used in many classrooms today. This article addresses the origins of mediation in Europe and the sometimes conflicting definitions found in official educational documents and in the academic literature, compares it to other translation practices often encountered in the world language classroom, and provides examples of mediation tasks. The question of assessing such tasks is also addressed. This article aims to inform instructors using communicative approaches in the United States about mediation and demonstrate its advantages so that they might add another type of task to their pedagogical toolbox and include translation in a communicative way.

使翻译具有交际性:交际语言课堂中的中介
摘要:虽然翻译曾经是语言教学的重要组成部分,但在整个20世纪,它在很大程度上让位于更注重交际能力的方法和方法。然而,在过去的几十年里,人们一直在努力将翻译和更广泛的多语种语言学习回归课堂。在欧洲,特别是德国,翻译在21世纪初以调解的形式再次复苏,这是一种交际翻译任务,今天在许多课堂上使用。本文阐述了调解在欧洲的起源,以及官方教育文件和学术文献中有时相互冲突的定义,将其与世界语言课堂上经常遇到的其他翻译实践进行了比较,并提供了调解任务的示例。还讨论了评估这些任务的问题。本文旨在向美国使用交际方法的教师介绍调解,并展示其优势,以便他们在教学工具箱中增加另一种类型的任务,并以交际方式包括翻译。
