Study diaries in translation education at Tallinn University

Abstract

In translator education, different introspection and retrospection methods are used. In this article, we present a retrospection method called study diaries. The goal of study diaries should be to guide translation students towards learning how to find adequate solutions to problems on their own and to make students aware of the different aspects of their action (or the process of translation, etc.), which could then help them be aware of the lifelong learning aspect, as well as of the importance of being able to reflect, analyse, and be self-critical.
