Academic English for Accounting Students refers to the theories and principles of accounting. This study focuses to the use of translation-presentation methods to improve the students‘ presentation skill. This method was applied for seven weeks to do translation and four weeks for individual presentation in the odd semester 2017. There were two main instruments used in collecting the data; presentation scoring rubric and open-ended questionaire. From the presentation score, it shows the students‘ final score. The mean score was 85.58 from 21 students; it is A grade based on PNUP academic score rules. The second finding shows that the students are very helpful in improving their presentation skill; they got many new words from translation activity and they were confident to do presentation individually because they know well what they present about. They also said that their accounting comprehension is renewed and improve as their main competence.
