O uso de atividades de tradução intersemiótica e interlingual em uma sala de aula de língua inglesa como LE.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze the use of translation as a tool in EFL teaching. Through the application of three activities involving the interlingual and intersemiotic translation categories proposed by Jakobson (1958; 2000), field notes and the analysis of assessment results, the impact of the use of translation as a teaching tool on students’ learning was investigated. The theoretical framework used involves scholars such as Leffa (1988), Romanelli (2006), Lucindo (2006; 2009) and Malmkjaer (1998). Data organization indicates a qualitative methodology and an action research. The corpus is organized by the students’ answers and the answers of the forms. Results have shown that the study of translation categories as a tool in EFL teaching, when used adequately and with specific goals, can be helpful for teachers and students, making the use of translation in this context justifiable and positive.
