Developing Professional Translator Behaviour in Translator Education as Perceived by the Students
Abstract
This article presents the researched students’ answers to the questions concerning how they assess their own readiness to function as language specialists (translators). The interviewed students talk about their perception of their translation teachers and the influence the latter have on the students’ pathway towards new skills and competences. The questions posed to the students also pertained to the problems and difficulties that they see on their way to becoming professional translators and effective entrepreneurs on the translation market. The research results show, on the one hand, that the students are engaged into the processes of self-education and self-realization. On the other hand, also noticeable are such educational areas in which the teachers guidance and facilitation could empower the students more in their transition to higher levels of development in building their career potential.
