Cognitive and Methodological Foundations of Indirect Translation in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language

This article explores the cognitive and methodological foundations of indirect translation in the process of teaching Spanish as a second language. It analyzes how learners process meaning, transfer linguistic structures, and develop intercultural and communicative competence through mediated translation practices. The study emphasizes the role of cognitive mechanisms such as memory, attention, and inference in language acquisition, as well as methodological approaches that enhance accuracy and fluency in Spanish language learning. The paper also highlights effective pedagogical strategies for integrating indirect translation into modern language teaching to improve learners’ comprehension and productive skills.
