What is education translation?

Education translation is the process of translating educational materials, such as textbooks, into another language.

This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as making educational materials accessible to students who are not native English speakers or translating them into a language that is more commonly spoken in the target country.

Captured in a metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia primary school, seated amongst his classmates, this photograph depicts a young African-American schoolboy who was in the process of drawing with a pencil on a piece of white paper. Note that the student was focused on a drawing book that referenced fantasy flying planes, while intent on creating his artwork, seemingly oblivious to all the classroom goings-on that surrounded him.

The increasing number of ELLs, non-Native English students, and international students present several challenges for educational institutions. One of the most pressing issues is ensuring these students have access to quality education in their language.

This can be a daunting task, but with the help of education translation services, it can be done successfully.

Educators and administrators looking for help with education translation should consider working with LingPerfect Translations.

The number of English Language Learners (ELLs) and non-native English students in the United States are growing rapidly. According to the most recent statistics from the U.S. Department of Education, there are over 5.1 million ELLs in the United States, making up nearly one-fifth of all public school students.

Over 2.6 million non-Native English students are now attending United States schools, representing a significant increase from just a few years ago.

In addition, the total number of international students in the United States more than doubled in the last twenty years. The same applies to prospective foreign students.

A culturally-sensitive approach for a multicultural and multilingual educational system

Educational translation is a particularly complex service. Apart from the academic content (which may, of course, be highly specialized), translating – for instance – a history or geography textbook for students with Asian, Latin or African origins requires awareness of their cultural history and sensitivity.

They may all be living and studying in New York, or Los Angeles (the United States is home to almost 17k school districts, without mentioning the over 30k private schools) but the language barrier is only part of the difficulty when dealing with educational translation.

Our professional translators are not only subject-matter experts, but know that this kind of texts needs to be approached with the appropriate cultural sensitivity, making sure that all learners feel equally engaged and, of course, respected.
