| Abstract [eng] |
There are no doubts that the interconnections between translation competence and revision competence are constantly increasing and contribute to better coherence of the translated product. Other-revision may be developed and made use of as a competence on its own. Self-revision is always part of translation competence. The study is based on students’ attitudes towards self-revision and other-revision. Before starting the revision training in practical translation courses, a survey was conducted to determine students’ attitudes towards the process of revision, the benefits of self- and other-revision training and the forms of such training thereof. The study also followed a research design where a semi-structured interview protocol was employed to find out the students’ attitudes to self-revision and other revision competences including possible modifications to be made in the translated text and skills required. The findings reveal students’ opinions and experiences acquired in translation courses at a higher education institution in terms of the revision process and student attitudes prevailing. Studying these questions may provide helpful theoretical and practical implications about the use and benefit of revision-related activities in translation classes. |
