The contributions of translation as an intercultural mediator in improving foreign languages teaching/learning

Les contributions de la traduction comme médiatrice interculturelle en amélioration de l’enseignement/apprentissage des langues étrangères

Abstract

The necessity to incorporate different cultures into classroom practice has given rise to the term "interculturality," a new proposal in the didactics of forein languages, that prepares students for integration and interaction in the society by applying their already  acquired communicative competencies and developing intercultural competence, through the translation of texts encompassing diverse cultures, historical eras, and different generations of humans, which highlights the discovery of the other through the task of translating texts from other cultures and civilizations, carrying contexts from different perspectives.
