Are teachers reaching or engaging their students? With the development of different kinds of translation theories, translation studies have greatly developed; however teaching translation has not been discussed thoroughly. In fact, the development information technology has had a wide range of effect on education, but traditional translation teaching is far from suitable for the current translation teaching. This paper will answer the above questions .It deals with a new approach of teaching translation, i.e. embedding technology in teaching translation. It focuses more on teaching translation effectively and highlighting the role of technology in facilitating processes of both teaching and learning. Mainly the aim of teaching translation is to improve student's language competence. However, three levels of the aim of teaching translation are explained and some disadvantages of traditional translation teaching (TTT) are discussed. Furthermore, a comparison is made between TTT and teaching translation with technology (TTWT). It is found that embedding technology in teaching translation is an important technique that should be incorporated in the classroom .
