Although TBLT and TPR are two temporally distant methods of language teaching, both have some similar underlying educational principles. Believing in the unity of the origins of TBLT and TPR, this paper tried to depict this evolutionary survey which started by Asher‟s (1974) proposition of the relation of speech and action and gradually developed to a full-fledged, multidimensional instructional approach which ruled over the realm of second/foreign language learning in the present decade. Hence, in order to be faithful to an objective framework for studying these two methods, the researcher applied Rogers & Richard‟s (1986) trichotomous plan of method classification according to which three key aspects should be focused for each method investigation; approach (theory of the nature of language and theory of the nature of language learning), method (student‟s role, teacher‟s role, the role of instructional materials, and assessment facets), and procedure (classroom techniques and practices). All of these elements have been focused respectively for both methods to see how TPR changed into TBLT in an evolutive movement. (more…)

The art of translator negotiates with the target language without allowing the language to dictate the text.
Translation involves a complex process of under standing and analyzing the message in the source language as received by him.This is followed by decodification of the codified message. Then he recodifies it in target linguistic system. The whole process of understanding ,codification,decodification-redecodification can be put as reception of the source text, its transplantation and origin of a new text.
Aims of translation-
Translation primarily aims at the transference of meaning from one set of patterned symbols into another set of patterned symbols.Empathy on the part of the translator would ensure stylistic reconstruction.Translators are cultural bridge builders and their significance has got to be realized in scientific,legal,literary and other domains. translation is very much similar to creative exercise as they have almost similar process.
