Πώς λειτουργούσε ο μεταφραστής στο παρελθόν; Ποιες ανάγκες κάλυπταν οι μεταφραστές τους προηγούμενους αιώνες, τι μετέφραζαν, τι είδους βοηθήματα είχαν στη διάθεσή τους, ποια μεταφραστική προσέγγιση ακολουθούσαν. Ποιο είναι το προφίλ του επαγγελματία μεταφραστή σήμερα;  Πού εργάζεται, τι μεταφράζει, τι είδους ικανότητες πρέπει να έχει, μπορεί να είναι αυτοδίδακτος ή πρέπει να είναι εκπαιδευμένος; Σ’ αυτά τα ερωτήματα θα επιχειρήσω να απαντήσω στη συνέχεια.

Let’s be honest. Lack of confidence is one of the biggest barriers to language acquisition that we face in our classrooms. And it is not confidence in the language that is the only problem. It is the confidence of the learner in themselves.  These leaner insecurities start surprisingly (and heartbreakingly) young and are there in some of the most experienced professional students I have taught, but for the purposes of this article and for my workshops in the IPs I’d like to focus on secondary school students.

The following article constitutes part of my dissertation for the University of Glasgow Postgraduate Diploma in Inclusive Education, Research, Policy and Practice. The full article can be found at the author’s account at www.researchgate.com.

 Abstract

In this article I will outline an alternative way of teaching grammar and argue that students should be encouraged to explore reasons rather than rules. I will suggest how you can start doing this by sharing tips and techniques drawn from my lessons and from teachers working in different contexts.

1)    What are rules and why are they problematic?

Classroom reading programmes involving  your whole class can be the simplest and most powerful initiatives you carry out in your English class. They work with all levels and number of participants, and are often a good way to plan differentiated classroom strategies. Here are some points to keep in mind when planning an Extensive Reading Programme.
