The translation is a transfer of the message from the one language to another, hence the translation is very important at the hour of acquisition of a second language.
In this essay we are going to argue the next postulate, Leonardi (2010) translation enhances critical reading skills, improves grammatical awareness and language proficiency, facilitates vocabulary acquisition, and develops intercultural competence.

TASK 2
The topic children´s literature in translation is very important because
you can do reading exercises, in an easy and dynamic way, the learning would be
better, however, it is a guide good, the children or students they are more
interested in the use of this material, Children's Literature in Translation, it allows us to know many culture from other countries
, and finally, the students are
motivated more, in the development of each exercise
Usually,
the tem of translation it´s used to transfer written or spoken documents from
one language to another,with the aim of being able
to share cultures and customs, and for to make this process is necessary use methods
and strategies, for facilitate the translation process, however , the Strategies are important because they help the
interpreter and traducer to transfer more accurate data , but ordudari (2017)
say , citing some authors defines
translation strategy as:
"translator's potentially
conscious plans for solving concrete translation problems in the framework of a
concrete translation task, and Seguinot (1989) believes that there are at least
three global strategies employed by the translators: (i) translating without
interruption for as long as possible; (ii) correcting surface errors
immediately; (iii) leaving the monitoring for qualitative or stylistic errors
in the text to the revision stage”pag 2Task 3
Since, there are several types of strategies to be implemented in
translation, but There are also methods and the most recognized , is “notes” It
is a very effective procedure , where several people can benefit, how
translations ,interpreter and readers.
Are the illustrations in a book important?

Introduction
The translation is a transfer of the message from the one language to another, hence the translation is very important at the hour of acquisition of a second language.
In this essay we are going to argue the next postulate, Leonardi (2010) translation enhances critical reading skills, improves grammatical awareness and language proficiency, facilitates vocabulary acquisition, and develops intercultural competence.
Argument
Translation was the basis of language teaching for a very long time, and then rejected as new methodologies started to appear. It was a key element of the Grammar Translation Method, which was derived from the classical method of teaching Greek and Latin. This was not a positive learning experience for many: as well as learners memorizing huge lists of rules and vocabulary, this method involved them translating whole literary or historic texts word for word. Unsurprisingly, new methodologies tried to improve on this.
The translation helps us to enhance the four basic skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening). The translation promotes our learning only when we apply the right activities of translation, taking into account that is an exercise than the students can do in the classroom.
Conclusion
Translation has established itself as a serious discipline in the present century. The theory and the practice of translation has gained immense popularity as the activity helps in bringing about a cross-cultural exchange. Translation fulfill an important paper in the field of education, because the teacher uses it for enhance the skills of their students and as a tool of research.

Task 2
Atkinson (1987) suggests that activities that involve some translation promote guessing strategies amongst students and helps reduce the word-for- word translation that often occurs and which results in inappropriate L2 use. Even Harbord concedes that some translation work teaches students to work towards transferring meaning "rather than the word-for-word translation that occurs when the learner's unconscious need to make assumptions and correlations between languages is ignored"
Further arguments reason that the use of translation anchors previously learned vocabulary in the mind and helps learners to expand their vocabulary, rather than relying on a limited syntax. This is an argument put forth by Heltai (1989), who states that advanced learners tend to fossilize in their acquisition of vocabulary because they have learned circumlocution skills. Forcing advanced students to search for other words gives such learners a new goal in their studies. Atkinson (1987) applies the same arguments to support translation in classes with learners at an earlier stage of L2 acquisition.

TASK 2. ESSAY
e)Translation has
been an important part of English language teaching for a long time, but it has
been abandoned since communicative methodologies became dominant.
The
field of saber in a second language consists of a basic cycle, which goes until
the fourth semester, in which the process of acquisition of foreign languages
in the aspects of oral communication and written communication begins. In the
advanced cycle, which goes until the tenth semester, it is consolidated in the
acquisition of foreign languages, in the way in which students achieve an
efficient and effective use of them.
In
several meetings held at the UNAD with the aim of evaluating the teaching and
learning processes of foreign languages in the basic cycle, students and
professors presented different disagreements in this regard. Regarding the
teaching process, the lack of clarity in the definition of objectives and
contents in the course programs was pointed out, that is, the competences to be
developed were not made explicit each semester, nor were there clearly defined
goals that would allow identifying the level of student achievement.
There
was also no clarity regarding the degree of development of the communicative
competence that was expected at the end of the basic cycle. In relation to the
learning process, the poor planning of independent work was manifested, the
lack of awareness of the need to develop learning strategies and the non-use,
by students and teachers, of the existing resources in the School. Translation
has been used for centuries for the teaching of foreign languages, largely as a
result of the legacy of scholastic thought. Its use, centered on learning the
language through grammar and translation, reached its peak at the end of the
eighteenth century.
Thus,
while the teaching of a second language, through translation as the only
pedagogical strategy, is clearly inadequate and inadvisable, the purpose of
this communication is to advocate for the complementary value of the use of
guided translation exercises. With this objective in mind, this article will
begin by explaining the reasons for the integration of translation into the
teaching of a foreign language.
In
conclusion, it is convenient to consider the introduction of translation as a
teaching tool for the teaching of ELE, since the exercise of communicative
translation, duly integrated with the other skills, provides the student with
an opportunity to tackle frequent errors, as well as an area more for the
practice and consolidation of their linguistic and intercultural skills.

COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS
Video: Translation and
language learning - Anthony Pym
Why the translation is bad for
language learning?
You go to the classroom Spanish kids
who are supposed to be learning English, you translate everything you are the
teacher you say it in English, then you say it in Spanish distance translation,
the kids are not going to listen to the English, they’re gonna wait for the
Spanish translation and learn no English and that’s how it was proved that
translation is bad for language learning
What is the reflection that leave us
the video?
We have to teach without translation
because people learn more listen and writing like we learn our mother tongue
Which countries use translation in the
classroom based on the Anthony Pymn data?
Finland, Croatia, France and
Spain
Why the translation isn’t good for the
language learning?
Because it’s not good for fluency
arWhat are the messages recommended by Anthony Pym’s resech?
That we have to talk about
what translation is more and communicative he hopes or why the concept of what
can be done with it whether it be called translation or mediation he doesn’t
really care. The second messages that they trying to get across through this
kind of research is to paraphrase the great and much regret at John Lennon “all
we’re saying is give translation a change”.
TASK 5 CONCLUSION
Several scholars have argued that translation is not a useful tool when acquiring a second or foreign language; since it provides a simplistic one to one relationship between the native and the foreign language, it can cause interference between them, and it is an artificial exercise that has nothing to do in a communicative approach to language teaching.
Translation Studies is a field of study that deals with the theory, description, and application of translation. Because it examines translation both as an interlingual transfer, and as an intercultural communication, Translation Studies can also be described as an inter-discipline which touches on other diverse fields of knowledge, including comparative literature, cultural studies, gender studies, computer science, history, linguistics, philosophy, rhetoric, and semiotics.
The skills of translation are becoming ever more important and desirable. Today’s multicultural and multilingual society demands effective, efficient, and empathetic communication between languages and cultures.
Translation is necessary for the spread of information, knowledge, and ideas. It is absolutely necessary for effective and empathetic communication between different cultures. Translation, therefore, is critical for social harmony and peace.
