These are my first thoughts about the benefits of teaching translation - I have been developing translation with my classes and most of my students love it - nearly as much as I do! Please comment if you have any suggestions Thanks Emma

These sheets have 5 or 6 exercises each that progress from very easy practice leading students through practising different tenses. I often use at the start of a double lesson - y9-11 sometimes also Y8 to give students lots to work through and also practising the language. My students love working through the sheets and they also like it when I check through them and they mark them in class. I usually do on a double page of their book (A4) so they have the work and the answers together.
