THE ROLE OF PEDAGOGIC TRANSLATION IN GRAMMAR LEARNING: A TOOL FOR STRUCTURAL AWARENESS AND ACCURACY

Pedagogic translation has long been the issue of debate between critics who ostracize it in language teaching, presumably because of its connection to the grammar translation method on the one hand, and proponents of bilingual reforms in language education, on the other. The latter advocate that pedagogic translation is not without merits. Previous studies suggest that pedagogic translation promotes linguistic accuracy. This paper explores the role of pedagogic translation in developing the learners’ understanding of grammar rules and sentence structure. This paper combines theoretical insights with statistical data collected from teachers and learners of English at the CPGE in Morocco. The findings suggest that pedagogic translation is an effective tool in learning EFL grammar.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0942/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
