Translation methods in teaching translation to university-level students

Summary/Abstract: The primary goal of this paper is to examine the translation methods selected by students in their translation training. In the theoretical part, basic information concerning translation methods is introduced and the difference between translation methods and procedures is elucidated. The dichotomy between the literal and free translation approach and the opinions on the mentioned methods by such scholars as Newmark, Vinay, Darbelnet, Hatim and Munday are presented. The empirical part presents the results of a small-scale study exploring the translation methods selected by students of a translation class at the University of Zielona Góra, Poland. The analysis revealed the motivations behind the choice of specific translation methods and the consequences of using them.
