Learning Materials Translation – Spanish

## Purpose

Translate learning materials from English to Spanish so they stay accurate, culturally relevant, and pedagogically effective for Spanish-speaking students in the US.

## Understand the Original

Read the full English text first. Note tone, level, and learning goals.

## Compare Line by Line

Check fluency, grammar (gender, number, tense), idioms, register, and consistent terminology.

## Conceptual Accuracy

Keep meaning, instructions, and educational intent intact. Prefer instructional Spanish forms (example: “Encierra en un círculo la respuesta correcta,” not a literal noun form).

## Educational Consistency

Align terminology across worksheets, quizzes, and activities. Keep a glossary or style guide.

## Final Polish

Read the Spanish independently. Confirm it flows for a native speaker and that students can follow directions.
