Translation theory from students’ perspective: an indispensable professional prerequisite or a tedious curricular obligation?
Translation theory from students’ perspective: an indispensable professional prerequisite or a tedious curricular obligation?

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents and analyses the outcomes of a survey study conducted with the participation of BA and MA students in a translation programme, aimed at gaining insight into the students’ views on translation theory usefulness. It was initially assumed that theory appreciation would develop along with growing translation experience, however, the nature of the predicted correlation appeared more complex. The author attempts to determine what factors may influence the observed interconnection and affect the subjects’ opinions.
