English-Spanish translation of the article "University Students’ beliefs about learning english and french in lebanon" with an analysis of the translation techniques employed.

Abstract

Throughout human history many artistic expressions have come into existence. All of them express the beauty of our human spirit and let us know the power of our mind and body to create magic. As examples of all those fine representations of the way in which we conceive the world we can mention Music, Painting, Architecture, Dance, and Translation. Without translators, the artists of language, we would live in a dark world ignoring the existence of other cultures and idiosyncrasies. That is why the transmission and practice of this art is of vital importance nowadays since it strengthens our cultural relations and is the one which could lead our world to its salvation as a mediator of thoughts and ideas. For that reason, this translation is an attempt to contribute in a certain way to that process of transmission of significant knowledge. This translation project addresses the need of language teachers and students who do not master English and consider of particular importance to know the results of studies related to students’ beliefs about learning different languages in relation with those about learning English.
