Empirical validation TFM Group TFF Group ELE Group Equivalent pretest starting point Equivalent pedagogical intervention except for the methodological approach: Same conditions: time frame, number of sessions, linguistic aspects. Different goal and methodology: to translate news (TFF /TFM) or to write news (ELE) Samples Immediate learning Pushed output (translating news) Two main research hypotheses validated

Interlinguistic Mediation as a Tool to Learn Spanish as a Foreign Language: the Case of/for Pedagogical Translation Adolfo Sánchez Cuadrado - UCL - a. cuadrado@ucl. ac. uk

A look on reality “It is the relationship between own and new language which lies at the heart of encountering a new language, rather than the new language being regarded in isolation, and a better metaphor for what happens should be participation rather than acquisition. Translation would seem to be the prime candidate for fostering a sense of that relationship”. (Pavlenko y Lantolf 2000, in Cook 2010) Adolfo Sánchez Cuadrado - UCL - a. cuadrado@ucl. ac. uk

Hypothesis 1 H 1: Focus on form is as effective when applied in pedagogical translation activities as when applied in language learning activities in terms of immediate intake.

Hypothesis 2 H 2: Translation activities with a focus on form are more effective than translation activities without a focus on form when preparing for pushed output (translation).
