Grammatical Tasks Applying English-Japanese Translation Strategies

Abstract

This paper introduces a series of grammatical tasks applying English-Japanese translation strategies for research students. These tasks enhance the learners in noticing specific linguistic forms during the translation process to produce meaningful output. The results of carrying out such tasks show that the learners are able to produce cohesive Japanese texts, using target linguistic forms, when they comprehend clearly the notions that have been expressed in the original context.
