In today's world, translation practices are constantly changing. The traditional belief that translators operate alone has disappeared chiefly due to the needs of modern business practices. Because of the techniques significant translation firms employ, individual translation must give way to collaborative translation. In translation, collaboration is still a relatively new field with several advantages and disadvantages. However, collaboration in translation is considered a relatively unexplored terrain with many advantages and disadvantages. Bearing this in mind, higher education institutions should be prepared to tackle the issue of collaborative translation from the aspect of curricula design and market requirements, which requires additional research focusing on collaborative work. This article addresses the study conducted to examine the usage of in-class collaborative translation practices at the university level and the effects such activities might have on increasing novice translators’ competence in translating texts. It discusses the characteristics of collaborative translation and provides an insight into student translators' perception of the usage of such activities, thus attempting to explore the concept of collaboration in translation from the perspective of active participantsReferences
