On using translation-based activities in ESP at advanced level: the case of business English

Abstract

The aim of this article is to demonstrate that translation can make a useful contribution to teaching ESP. I focus on using translation-based activities with advanced students of Business English (levels C1 and C2) and describe certain activities illustrated with examples. All the tasks and activities presented in this article have been used by the author with several groups of advanced learners of English at the Institute of Economics and Management of the Jagiellonian University, Kraków over the last few academic years.
