Discusses basic models of the processes of translation, second language teaching and learning, and semantization. A judicious use of many procedures is urged, because translation is present in the semantization process regardless of method used. It is noted that considerable research is still needed. (AMH)

Argues against the thesis that exact translation is impossible, because languages reflect different world-views or different cognitive structures (de Saussure, Humboldt, Whorf, Weisgerber).

Recommends, for English teaching at advanced levels, equating English participial constructions with German participial constructions rather than with paraphrases, in order to develop an analytic approach on the part of the student. (IFS/WGA)

This article criticizes the systematic use of audio-visual methods in second language teaching because of the imprecise semantic impression they may leave on the student. The use of translation exercises is proposed as an alternative. (Text is in French.) (CDSH/CLK)
