Throughout the entire cycles, students worked in groups of 4-5 persons to plan and write their translations. The study showed that the average score of pre- test (66) increased dramatically to reach 86, and moved up a little higher (87) after the second cycle. It is recommended that STAD Cooperative Technique be implemented in teaching translation courses. Key words: Teaching translation; STAD; UIN Aceh. Copyright © 2015 by Al-Ta'lim All right reserved
