Abstract
This study was carried out in Khenchla Middle schools to investigate the use of translation among EFL teachers. The main objectives were to check if middle school teachers use translation in their EFL classrooms, and the effect translation can have on EFL learners’ achievements. To gather data about the situation, a questionnaire was administered to middle school teachers to gain precise and in depth information about the situation. The findings of data analysis revealed positive results concerning teachers’ use of translation in EFL classrooms. Additionally, the results of the study also showed that most of the responding teachers agreed upon the idea of using translation have positive effects on EFL learners’ achievements. Therefore, teachers are preferred to apply translation, but it would be better if it is used judiciously for evoking pupils in EFL classes. It is also advised that teachers should be aware about the importance of using translation.
