Sobre a necessidade da tradução pedagógica na aula de língua não materna: quinta habilidade e macroestratégias

Abstract

This paper tries to instigate the debate among the fields of non-native language (NNL) learning/teaching and Translation Studies, as it tries to establish how contemporary linguistic poststructuralism view and post-method ideas contribute to the rehabilitation of translation as a didactic resource in NNL learning/teaching. The paper tentatively fi xes the defi nition of “pedagogic translation”. Then, it focuses on the concept of “translation as a fifth skill”. Finally, it brings the macrostrategies developed by Kumaravadivelu (1994) to self-orientation of teachers in their teaching practice. While doing so, it offers a reflection on how some of these strategies gain by the use of translation exercises in the NNL classroom.
