الملخص EN

This paper aims at studying how translation is used as a tool in the English language acquisition in the centers of languages (CEILs), taking as an example the ceil of the university of Algiers 1; in fact, teaching English has witnessed several changes in Algeria to satisfy students needs that are in line with today’s challenges.

the objective of these reforms was to use English as the language of teaching in universities, in scientific fields, as it is the language of the era of globalization.

therefore, the center devoted efforts to help learners within different specialities to acquire this language, basing on different learning methods.

dealing with the question: is translation an essential factor to acquire English language? or do translation exercises help more to acquire English language? we propose translation exercises as a method to enhance the English language competence.
