This questionnaire composed of 16 questions, gathered in 04 parts (general information, sight translation, error correction method, and the effect of error correction method on sight translation tasks) and it was accepted from the supervisor which indicates its validity. Secondly, students were tested with the teacher (translate and interpret 05 texts) then it was corrected following error correction method as a treatment. After that, we selected 02 texts to reuse them with students as a post-test. They were asked to mention their previous errors and give the Arabic equivalents of the words they learnt from the texts. The results showed that error correction method enriches learners' vocabulary and treats sentence structure errors and word by word translation errors. On the basis of the resulted findings, it is recommended to encourage learners for more practice on sight translation tasks following error correction method.
