I need to teach my students how to translate readings into spanish, do you have strategies, activities, ideas for doing it.. ( I�m sure you have them) thanks a lot.

 

The thing that I mention first while Im teaching translating is comprehension. The most important thing in a good translation is to understand the passage itself completely. Then you need to be good at Spanish literature too, in order to write a comprehensible translation. Sometimes translating word by word helps, but most of the time the translated passage doesnt make any sense. So I think you can help them improve their comprehension skills.

 

Hope it helps ;)
