TEACHING TRANSLATION

SULJKANOVIC, Dženita

Teaching translation is a widespread problem of nowadays schools and education system. Teaching a foreign language mainly focuses on acquiring new vocabulary and it is desirable for students to reach the point where they could freely communicate in a foreign language regardless to syntax and accuracy. On the other hand, translation as a study of the modern world requires truthfulness through writing skills and reading in order to deliver messages between two languages. How this functions in practice will be delivered in this presentation. Methodology involves teaching English in Bosnia and Herzegovina through grammartranslation method, with theory of translation, teaching and practice as a unity. The outcome represents the level which students nowadays reach by studying syntax of a foreign language before producing translation of it. Hopefully, this topic will efficiently be involved in the language acquisition and bring closer teaching and translation. Keywords: methodology, grammar-translation method, translation theory, teaching.
