GROUP ASSESSMENT OF A TRANSLATION PROJECT: EMPIRICAL SURVEY RESULTS
GROUP ASSESSMENT OF A TRANSLATION PROJECT: EMPIRICAL SURVEY RESULTS

Summary/Abstract: A translation project is regarded as one of the most promising alternative training and assessment tools in the contemporary translation classroom, rooted in experiential and collaborative approaches. It offers numerous opportunities for students to test and improve their translation competence under terms and conditions that closely resemble actual professional practices. As a result, translation projects are being increasingly implemented in Ukrainian universities to train future philologists. However, their use raises the issue of objective and reliable evaluation of both translation flow and product. This study presents the experience of the group project involving 36 fourth-year students from Poltava University of Economics and Trade, who translated English business case studies into Ukrainian. The author analyses various group assessment models, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. Based on the study's findings, hybrid evaluation frameworks that combine different proportions of hetero-, peer-, and self-assessment to be employed in the translation classroom are suggested.
