THE EFFECT OF FORM AND MEANING FOCUSED TRANSLATION INSTRUCTION TO THE LANGUAGE SKILL LEVELS OF ELT STUDENTS

Abstract

In this paper, the affect of form and meaning focused translation instruction to language skills are investigated. The research took place in the academic year of 2009-2010. The study was an experimental study with an experimental and control group: 40 subjects in the experimental group and 35 subjects in the control group. After 10 weeks of treatment the results showed that the subjects in the experimental group which was treated with meaning focused translation instruction improved their language skills more than the subjects in the control group which was treated with form focused translation instruction.
