Description
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyse the potential of inverse translation as a pedagogical tool in the promotion of
written expression skills in the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classroom. Nowadays, we are witnessing a
renaissance of translation in teaching practice. As a result, the number of studies trying to delineate the scope of
translation in current FL T contexts has proliferated in the last two decades. With a view to adding to the existing
literature, we have carried out a longitudinal study, for which a series of translations have been completed during
a language course. A pre-study and post-study questionnaire have also been administered in arder to gauge the
participants' perspective regarding the use of translation in the language classroom. The results showcase that
translation has been extremely beneficia! in terms of enhancing written expression, drawing the students' attention to certain recurring mistakes, and creating metalinguistic awareness.
