The study adopted the descriptive research design, and a questionnaire was used for data collection. The participants were eleven female students in their fourth year in the English department. They were taught a translation course from and into Arabic/English by the researcher. Utilizing weblogs in the course of translation was an out-class project as a supportive material to a traditional translation class. Translation assignments were posted on the weblog weekly by the instructor, and learners were asked to visit the weblog, translate the posted text, and give feedback to their peers’translations. At the end of the program, learners were handed out the questionnaire to find out their attitudes and perceptions on the effectiveness and usefulness of using weblogs in translation. Results showed that the learners have positive attitudes towards implementing weblog in translation class.  \nKeywords: attitudes, perceptions, weblog, translation, EFL learners  \nINTRODUCTION  \nRecent years have revealed a great tendency towards adopting social applications in education. The most ubiquitous ones are those within web 2.0 applications such as weblogs, wikis, social networking, RSS, and pod-casting. They have received a tremendous attention in education in general (Pinkman, 2005; Alshumaimeri, 2008; Richardson, 2010; Schroeder, Minocha & Schneider, 2010; Amir, Ismail & Hussin, 2011; Roussinos & Jimoyiannis, 2011; Grami, 2012; Jimoyiannis & Angelaina, 2012; Lin, Groom & Lin, 2013) . This is a normal and natural tendency towards web-assisted education, because the educational process, including all its dimensions, should always be in a continuous progression especially when it comes to keeping up with the advancement of technology.  \nBlogging which is considered as one of the most well-known social applications has attracted the researcher’s attention to investigate its effectiveness on translation process in the context of English and Arabic languages. It had the priority to be implemented in this study because it is an easily used and freely accessed application that can be utilized by teachers and learners to facilitate learning. Moreover, a weblog has a number of common yet special features which makes it surpass other applications of web 2.0 including: (1) creating a type of website in an easy, cheap and quick way; (2) organizing content chronologically backwards and by postings which are usually short and frequently posted; (3) allowing readers’ voices to be heard through a “comments” feature;(4) instant publishing to the web without having to learn HTML or use a web authoring program; (5) viewing related links; and (6) clearly presenting author’s voice and personality (Wu, 2006) .  \nConsidering the abovementioned features of weblogs, bilingual instructors and translators, shall try out  \nCitation: Alalimi, M.
