Abstract: In this paper I examine why translation has become an outlaw in certain circles in foreign language teaching.A list of the most common objections to using translation in the classroom will be contrasted with possible counter-objections, on the basis of which I support the view that translation can be used in a meaningful way in the teaching of foreign languages.Quite obviously, this view leads to a number of further questions concerning when, how, in what circumstances, and for what purposes translation may be usefully employed.These questions, however, cannot be discussed within the limits of the present paper.
