Therefore, the students at PGRI Wiranegara University Pasuruan were approached to have translation skill by accomplishing the Translation Course of English Education Study Program, at the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology, PGRI Wiranegara University Pasuruan. But, based on the preliminary study, the researchers discovered that the students got difficulty in understanding and translating the text, moreover when the course must be done online because of the epidemy. The students tended to translate the text literally which somehow make the text not contextually understood. This research was aimed to solve this problem and hence improve the students’ translation by using video. This research used Classroom Action Research (CAR) design proceeded with four procedures; 1) Planning, 2) Implementing, 3) Observing and 4) Reflecting. This research involved 24 students in the Translation Course. The researchers set the criteria for success as if 75% of the students could achieve at least 75 points for their translation product. This research resulted that the students’ translation skills increased. It was proved by the score gained from the test on the first cycle. 80% of the students, 19 from 24, got score ≥ 75. So, it could be concluded that this research was successful in its first cycle because the criteria had been reached. Moreover, in this cycle, 80% of the students were more active in a teaching-learning process. Last, the researchers could conclude that using video improved the students’ translation skills and encouraged them to join the online Translation Course enthusiastically.
