The Importance of Translation Corpora in Teaching Writing: Aspects of Cohesion and Coherence
Keywords:
Writing Skill, Translation Corpora, Cohesion, CoherenceAbstract
The current study attempts at
investigating the importance of translation
corpora in teaching writing for E.F.L.
classrooms, mainly at the university level.
Teachers may help learners to carry out
cross linguistic comparisons between the
Arabic and English languages by means of
translation corpora and also develop
insights about matters of cohesion and
coherence in both languages for the sake
of producing good writings, especially
when learners become more conscious
about their selection of cohesive devices,
and correct their mistakes autonomously.
Translation corpora may serve a useful
teaching material in written expression
classrooms.
