| Description | Translation and translation oriented research in ELT is always a bit controversial topic. It was even called the “skeleton in the cupboard” recently and, still, with all the controversies in mind, it is used in a modern classroom and some teachers and educators even say they can hardly teach without the support of students’ mother tongue. The article clarifies and explains the position of the translation in modern pedagogical approaches and suggests ways that will eliminate the controversies and will present the translation as one of many approaches used in modern ELT methodology with solid ground in CEFR and modern intercultural education based on mediation. |
