Abstract

Active learning and the involvement of students as producers and partners play a key role in language teaching in today's UK higher education landscape. This chapter explores a “Reviews in Translation” project integrating “real” translations of online blog content into classroom-based teaching of Chinese and German in a UK university as part of a collaboration that sought to establish a “partnership learning community” across academic and professional service divisions. Drawing on qualitative data based on teacher reflections on classroom experience and student feedback, the chapter assesses the success of the project through two key lines of enquiry: the combination of pedagogical and real translation for language learning and engagement with students as active learners.
