According to the research of (Jamal Mohamed,2011 ) tell us It ¨has been noticed that
teachers of English use translation in the classroom and that some students were
inclined to use translation when their English failed them. The extent of translation use
by teachers was not clear before the conduction of this study. Through informal
discussions, some english teachers who use translation in EFL classes claim that
translation is very helpful in facilitating the process of teaching especially with low-
level students. They also claim that their students find translation helpful in many
ways, especially in clarifying grammatical and lexical concepts¨ Jamal Mohamed
