Abstract

This paper focuses on the results of four undergraduate research subprojects linked to a major ongoing project on sight translation, of which the writer hereof is the author and leader. The subprojects, conducted at the Catholic University of São Paulo and sponsored by the Institution’s Teaching and Research Authority, looked into specific aspects of sight translation from the viewpoint of translation/interpretation students, trainers and practicing professionals. The results obtained so far provide a fresh insight into the complexities of sight translation and the challenge it poses to professionals-in-the-making, with substantial scope for pedagogical considerations regarding interpretation/translation training programs.
