Advanced Translation Teaching.
Rokkan, Elizabeth
English Language Teaching Journal, v34 n3 p224-26 Apr 1980
The process of translating demands an attempt to draw on contextual knowledge on all relevant areas of society: literature and the study of society together with the use of idiomatic language. Students can be shown this by direct translations which appear incomprehensible. English-to-Norwegian-to-English examples are given. (Author/PJM)
