In the modern globalized world, foreign language education plays a crucial role in developing students’ communicative competence and intercultural awareness. One of the promising directions for improving foreign language teaching is the integration of translation theory elements into the school curriculum. Translation is not only a linguistic process but also a cognitive and cultural activity that helps students better understand language structures, meanings, and contexts. The purpose of this article is to analyze the pedagogical significance of incorporating elements of translation theory into general secondary school programs. The study highlights how translation-based activities contribute to the development of linguistic competence, critical thinking, and intercultural communication skills among students. The article also discusses methodological approaches, pedagogical advantages, and practical strategies for integrating translation exercises into foreign language lessons. The results indicate that translation theory elements can significantly improve students’ understanding of vocabulary, grammar, and discourse structures while fostering analytical and reflective learning. The findings of this study may serve as a methodological basis for teachers seeking to enrich language teaching practices in secondary education.
