Un modelo de traducción pedagógica: la traducción ad hoc

Abstract

In this paper we will analyze a kind of translation which is practiced in our classrooms: the ad hoc prepared translation. The purpose of these texts, made by the teacher is to activate the foreign language’s functioning mechanisms in different pragmatics and grammatical aspects. We will analyze the use of the direct object determined by the preposition a in translations and we will compare it with its use in essays, so that we can compare if the students have acquired its use.
