Abstract

This article explores the multifaceted role of translation in language education, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and pedagogical approaches. Translation, as an integral part of language learning, fosters linguistic competence by delving into grammar, vocabulary, and syntax intricacies. It also promotes cultural competence by immersing learners in diverse cultural contexts and enhancing intercultural sensitivity. Furthermore, translation exercises improve reading and writing skills through critical analysis and coherent text production. Challenges such as over-reliance on translation, cultural sensitivity, and integration into the curriculum are discussed, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach. Pedagogical approaches include task-based translation, comparative analysis, and translation as a creative process, each offering unique benefits. This comprehensive exploration of translation in language education underscores its pivotal role in shaping well-rounded and culturally aware individuals, equipping them with essential skills for effective communication.
