Abstract
The present study aims at investigating students' attitudes towards translation as a teaching technique of the English language and vocabulary. The basic hypothesis set out is that translation is an effective technique, in helping learners acquire vocabulary in specific and the English language in general. The method of this research study is descriptive, which seeks to describe two variables: the translation technique as the independent variable and the English language and vocabulary learning as the dependant variable. The data was collected through questionnaires designed to 2nd year LMD students of the English department of Larbi Ben M'hidi University of Oum El Bouaghi. The results have shown that translation can be an effective teaching technique of English and vocabulary in some learning areas, whereas, it is ineffectual in some others. Therefore, it is the role of the teacher to recognize in which areas
his/her students need to use translation.
