Instagram, a widely popular platform, has become an influential tool for teaching and learning English by delivering daily updates of new language content on various Instagram pages and accounts. This study examines the effect of Instagram on learners' motivation to learn English and evaluates its advantages and disadvantages for educational purposes. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, incorporating quantitative data collected through a questionnaire distributed among 100 Iranian EFL learners and qualitative data gathered via semi-structured interviews with five teachers who actively employ Instagram in English instruction. Findings revealed that Instagram significantly boosts learners' motivation, with participants expressing positive views about the platform. Key advantages include its engaging and diverse content, as well as its potential to enhance skills and subskills like speaking and vocabulary. In spite of these benefits, certain drawbacks were identified, such as the presence of distracting non-educational content, limited interaction opportunities, and restrictions in fostering deep learning and comprehensive teaching. The study concludes that Instagram offers notable benefits for English education, particularly in motivating learners and providing varied content. However, to fully benefit from its educational potential, it is important to implement strategies that address the challenges identified. Balancing its strengths and limitations is essential to make Instagram more useful in English language education.

Le Noble Coran, le livre sacré des musulmans, est révélé en langue arabe, mais il comprend le message divin pour toute l’humanité; et pour apporter ce message aux hommes, il faut le traduire en différentes langues. On remarque plusieurs interprétations concernant la "la Résurrection" dans ce livre sacré, à cause de la complicité de sa structure et de son vocabulaire polysémique. Alors, il est nécessaire de connaître l’origine de ce terme Coranique pour trouver leur équivalent exact en français. Dans ce travail de recherche, en recourant à la méthode herméneutique concentrée sur les réflexions de l'Ayatollah Jafar Sobhani, nous tentons à dégager les difficultés et impasses de la traduction du terme "la Résurrection" à travers la traduction de la sourate " Al-Waqiah " faite par Jacques Berque. Pour arriver à ce but, nous allons suivre les 14 principes pour l’interprétation correcte du Coran selon Sobhani. Nous discutons sur la traduisibilité des expressions et des termes Coraniques et la transmission de la signification correcte de ces éléments en français. Les résultats montrent que dans la majorité des cas, Berque a bien transmis en français les termes exprimant «la Résurrection» et il semble qu'il ait essayé de transmettre le sens général des versets en français, mais n'a pas été en mesure de rendre les nuances sémantiques subtiles.
