Select three of the debatable issues you found and recorded in your T-chart from the "Format and Scoring Criteria" lesson and write one thesis statement for each. Has anyone done this for AP English Lang and Comp on edge??

For centuries translation and language learning went hand in hand as the

grammar translation model used to teach Latin, principally for reading knowledge,

was applied to the teaching of modern languages. A growing recognition of the

disconnect between grammar translation models and theories of second language

acquisition led to the development of communicative approaches to language

learning and teaching during the last half of the 20th century. This recognition

does not mean that translation has disappeared from the classroom, however.

Wilkerson (2008) shows that even when teachers aim to use the target language,

English is often employed to translate classroom dialogue. While the place of the

first language in the language classroom is the subject of ongoing debate–see, for

instance, Rell (2005)–the activities and teaching strategies outlined here are intended to encourage student reflection on the translation process and on the

differences between languages and not to replace communicative teaching in the

target language.
