Yes – we tell students not to translate word for word. But how about chunk for chunk? Very happy you(r students) likes the activity.

All of my students promised to stop using Google Translate to assist them with their writing assignments in the future.

Thanks again,

This is certainly another one I can use!
An added benifit is that Google translator can’t tell the difference between the sentences so THAT won’t enable them to do the exercise in two seconds!
Thanks!
Naomi
