Abstract: The translation method has been an important aspect of teaching the English language, acting as one of the earliest techniques to aid language learning. This method involves translating between a learner’s native language and the target language and has developed through various educational changes. Historically, it has assisted students in developing vocabulary and grammar skills by offering a familiar linguistic reference. Even with the emergence of more immersive teaching strategies, like the communicative language teaching model, translation still holds value in certain learning environments. Supporters claim that it improves analytical skills, cultural awareness, and the ability to engage with complex texts. On the other hand, critics argue that excessive dependence on translation can impede the natural use of the language, especially in speaking and listening. This paper looks into both the advantages and drawbacks of the translation method in English language teaching, considering how technological developments, like translation applications and software, can enhance its use. By integrating translation into a well-rounded teaching approach, educators can provide a more comprehensive and effective learning experience that caters to the varied needs of students in multilingual settings.
