(Translation and Language Learning: The role of translation in the teaching of
languages in the European Union, summary. Brussels: Eu Law and Publications). You

There was also a small presentation of the report followed by a questions & answer
session, which can be found in YouTube as “Translation and language learning – open
discussion” (here and here, for example).

Read the report and answer the questions:

- What is the most relevant conclusions reached in the report, in your opinion?
- What is the most unexpected conclusion reached in the report, in your opinion?
- If you are in Europe, do you think it is accurate for the country you live in /a country
you know well? Why?
- If you are not in Europe, do you think the survey in your country would yield similar
results? Why?
- What conclusions can you draw for your professional development.

Important: you have to write your personal details, the option and the subject
name on the cover (see the next page). The assignment that does not fulfil these
