Abstract
The present paper focuses on the use of translation in helping learning to acquire, develop and strengthen their knowledge and competence in the English language. Translation integrated into the language learning practice along with generally used learning activities ,such as reading,listening,writing,and vocabulary development could be defined as a “pedagogical tool”, considering that its purpose is to teach a language. Translation activities make students communicate both ways: into and from the foreign language. While translating students are incited to notice differences in structures and vocabulary, to strengthen grammatical competence,to shape their own way of thinking and to correct common mistakes that could otherwise remain unnoticed .Students can make the best out of their learning,if they are encouraged to use translation skills properly. This paper is based on a brief theoretical literature overview,analysis of the activities in the language classroom and analysis of the result of the survey.The findings of the survey suggest that translation is a good tool in the English language learning course aimed at enhancement of student „ foreign language skills .
