La relation enseignant/apprenti traducteur dans le processus de formation à la traduction. Étude de cas: les mémoires de fin d‟études

This article intends to present the difficulties that the Applied Foreign Languages students, especially those at the West University of Timişoara, experience when writing their Bachelor‘s theses. In addition, it reflects on how teachers manage to meet apprentice translators‘ expectations in a key moment in their lives, i.e. when graduating from university and beginning their professional activity. Teachers play a significant role: they guide students closely while helping them to become independent. They collaborate with students and stimulate them into gaining a certain confidence and independence that will help them in their professional activities and in their lives. In collaborating with students, teachers help them face the challenges of a new society, characterised by employment instability.
