Summary/Abstract: I used my Twitter account to tweet images of English and Arabic texts to be translated by my student followers who are translation major. My followers translated the texts and corrected the translation errors, tweeted and re-tweeted their translations and corrections for feedback. I gave feedback on the location and types of translation errors, tweeted prompts, translation tips and resources while followers were re-thinking and working on their answers. The followers reported that they benefited from the variety of translation tips, feedback and dictionaries tweeted. Further pedagogical issues, reflections and recommendations on interactive translation practice via Twitter are given.
