Speaking as an initial goal in language teaching and learning has relationships with many variables including listening, reading, writing, knowledge of vocabulary as well as grammar. The present study mainly aims at examining the relationship between translations and speaking fluency. For this purpose and following an experimental design, three groups of Iranian advanced EFL learners were asked to per- form a number of conversational tasks, and were given a speaking fluency test. The first experimental group (EG1) was taught via intralingual translation, the second experimental group (EG2) via interlingual translation and the third group (control group) was taught in the foreign language without any intralingual or interlingual translation methods. The results reveal that there is a significant relationship between inter- lingual translation and speaking fluency. The study, finally, offers some practical implications for both EFL learners and teachers.
