Despite its “metodologia non-grata” status in language teaching, translation has a lot to offer in the second language classroom. This article argues that a reconsideration of pertinent concepts, such as the source and product of the translation, as well as a post-method rather than an exclusivist approach to language teaching, can provide a gateway to re-introducing translation in the EFL/ESL curriculum. Through a series of activities based on Neil Gaiman’s Coraline, it also makes a case for the teacher’s role in motivating the student as the key to using translation in teaching a foreign or second language.
