Abstract

This paper is centred on the implementation of literary translation in learning contexts in which the students pertain to minority contexts or areas of conflict and that are immersed in integration situations. This paper presents, first of all, the special needs that these foreign language students can possess (especially when learning Spanish) in such environments. Secondly, the usefulness of translation to support the assimilation of foreign languages and the potential of literary translation to achieve an efficient usage of a new language will be assessed. Last but not least, a proposal of texts that can be used to strengthen the learning of the Spanish language in these contexts (using English as a lingua franca to carry out the rendering activities) will be presented. These texts will be observed to show their possible benefits regarding the teaching of a foreign language through literary translation in integration contexts.
