Abstract
Various activities and resources have been used across time to promote and enhance the learning of foreign languages.
Among these, translation has been cherished or dismissed depending on the preferred teaching method at each period. With
the arrival of the Communicative approach, which focuses on communicative competence, its role has apparently become even
more unstable. This article seeks to explore the role of translation in the main teaching methods used in Spain since the late 19th
century up to the present time. This will in turn serve as the background against which the current educational scenario (with the
Communicative approach and the tenets of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) will be measured
with a view to ascertaining the role that translation may currently play. The particular situation of Secondary Education in the
Region of Murcia will be discussed in the light of the curricula for this stage.
