Although translation can easily be embedded into teaching, I find that it is important to take a period of time to focus on the skills involved. Attached is a booklet I have put together which is made up of all of the AQA translations into English from recent past papers. I find that pulling everything together from a certain task type helps to focus the students on the skills needed and also helps me as a teacher to spot trends.
BOOKLET: TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH (updated to include 2020 paper)
I have also produced a booklet for translation from English into Spanish, but there is not enough space on the blog to upload it at the moment. If you are able to support so I can pay for more space, I would be most grateful. I don’t feel comfortable asking this, and I have always funded the blog myself, but the package to get more space is a significant jump in cost. If you want to buy a pack of resources I have put on the TES Resources website, I would be really grateful, as I am going to use whatever funds I get from that to pay for the blog upgrade.

Thank you so much for this booklet, I found it really useful (as I do all your resources). I just wondered if you have put the other booklet for English to Spanish translations on TES? I will happily pay for it, knowing how useful it will be!
Hi. To be honest, I had completely forgotten about this. I will try one more time to see if it will upload to this blog + failing that I will add a link to the TES site.
Thanks so much again for all the great resources you produce for all key stages but especially A Level. You are always on my list of recommendations for any new staff I work with!!
