The current study aims at touching upon the effect of mobile method on improving students' translation from English into Arabic. The sample of the students was chosen randomly from the English Department at Jadara University in Jordan. The sample consisted of 40 translation students. It was divided into two similar Groups, Experimental, and Control. Experimental students were asked to use their mobiles in translation, while the Control students used a normal method in translating English or Arabic vocabularies into their equivalents. T-test for independent samples' was used to compare between the two Groups at pre and post tests. The results revealed the higher level in translation for the benefit of the Experimental Group. It also revealed statistical differences between pre and post tests for the Experimental Group. Recommendations and suitable suggestions were set up for future research.
