Assemblers are programs which are used to turn assembly language programs into a binary program that the computer's processor or any other processor can execute.
Emulators on the other hand are used to run programs which are not normally designed for your hardware or operating system. On a Mac computer, for example, someone could use an emulator to run a program designed for the Windows operating system. Or someone could run an emulator in Windows to use software/games designed for Atari systems.

Assemblers are programs that take a language called Assembly, and convert it into instructions that the computer can understand. Assembly is a very low level language which uses words such as push, pop, add etc. These words directly correspond to instructions in the CPU.
Emulators are programs that allow one platform to emulate another, and can run software that is written for another computer.
