Question: How can
teachers of English language learners use students’ native language in learning
about comprehension in English?
Answer: Working in
small groups, the students translate key texts from English textbooks in
English into their native languages. They then discuss how they did it and what
they learned about comprehension in
English from their translations.
Comment: Interesting! Why didn’t I think of that?
