Summary/Abstract: The article continues reflexions about the theory of creative translation by P. Kußmaul (2007: 2015) based on cognitive theories of languages and psychological research on creativity, and discusses its usefulness not only for identifying of translations problems and analysing of proposed translation solutions, but also for designing of translation tasks and its evaluation. The paper discusses in its main part translation tasks, which stimulate creativity and reflexivity both on the level of reception of the source text and on its production in a target language. The focus was paid especially to group tasks/ project tasks, which are addressed to more advanced students in translations studies who have already some practical experience in translation of written texts. The corpus consists of authentic tasks used in translation course with students.
