Workshop

The Usage of Translation Tools for Language Teaching

Recommendations for Language Teachers

The focus in this phase of our collegial exchange lies with developing concrete recommendations for language teachers in terms of how to use the translation tools in the language classroom. The following topics or questions accompany our discussion and the concretization of our ideas:

  1. General information about tools (privacy, role of the intermediate language in translation, differences between tools such as DeepL and GoogleTranslate) and their shortcomings
  2. What are the features or challenges of each language?
  3. How can tasks be designed so that the meaningfulness of MT is apparent?
  4. How can tasks be designed so that the use of MT is not worthwhile?
  5. Guidelines for grading
