- Abstract
This paper deals with the place of translation in foreign language teaching and its role as a means of explaining language and assessing language students. There have been controversial opinions about its inclusion in the foreign language class, which reflect both advantages and disadvantages to it. Some of the benefits and drawbacks of using translation are highlighted focusing on the advantages that outnumber the disadvantages. Translation should be used in accordance with the lesson objectives and through state of the art techniques that lead to communicative language learning. Some activities that make effective use of translation are described such as class discussion, teaching grammar, checking phrasal verbs and words, projects, comparing translated versions. Translation is very important in raising students' awareness for the development of the mother tongue against overuse of foreign words. The paper concludes that the four language skills are developed through translation activities which are close to real life situations.
