Teaching Spanish and English As a Foreign Language

Interpretation


Translation Directory | English | Spanish | French | Italian | Portuguese | German | Dutch | Norwegian | Swedish | Russian | Japanese | Chinese | Arabic

Traditional dictionaries translate a given lexical term without relaying contextual or situational appropriateness. Contrastively, interpretation conveys an exact semantic idea culturally acceptable for a given instance. To reinforce this methodology, further explanation should accompany both languages. The novice should utilize their native language while at an advanced level, emphasis should be placed on producing clarifications in the target language.
