This study aims at investigating the representations which teachers and students have about translation in the English language teaching and learning, in order to know how these groups of participants understand the translation role in the classroom and verify if their representations present convergences or divergences among themselves. The research is grounded on the social representations, based on Moscovici (2010), on the main teaching and learning concepts and on some translation concepts. The research has followed the case study methodological frame (JOHNSON, 1992; STAKE, 1998) and it has been developed at a language school located in São Paulo. Five teachers and ten students from basic, intermediate and advanced level have participated in the research, whose data were collected through questionnaires in July, 2012. The results have shown that teachers understand translation as language approximation; beginners understand translation as a way of knowing meanings; intermediate students consider translation as a way of approximating English to their the mother tongue; advanced students see translation as transformation. In this study, translation is understood as a strategy of learning English and seeking for the mother tongue, Portuguese, dictionaries, or any other source of translation while studying is considered as a part of such strategy
