Abstract

Translation in language teaching seemingly refers to Grammar Translation Method. In fact, nowadays it is different. Back than in history, translation in language had been abandoned since it was considered as deferral of language improvement. Modern language teaching proposes direct method, communicative approach, and many other methods and strategies in enhancing language competence of the students. On the contrary, as EFL students, they tend to translate the text to understand what the text is trying to explain. Hence, this paper reveal the bright side of translation in language teaching. Translation in language teaching assists the students to understand the meaning of the text. As it is commonly known that the purpose of language is to communicate between one and another. Translation thus, helps the students to understand the real meaning of the message which is on the written form. Translation moreover can assist the students to acquire a language. Through translation the many aspects of language are learned. Therefore, conducting the translation in language learning will enhance students’ language skill as well as an assistance for the teacher to emphasize on certain sector in language teaching.
