In this section, key findings of the first data collection wave will be summarised in a somewhat simplified form, and cross-references are given to the chapters where they are detailed.

  • No significant differences were found between HT and PE students concerning the time they spent on producing the TT (3.2.2.1 Time on task).
  • PE students showed better performance in general (lower total error numbers) and in terms of accuracy (3.2.2.2 The quality of the target texts (error numbers)).
  • Accuracy errors are the most common types of errors in both the HT and the PE conditions (3.2.2.2 The quality of the target texts (error numbers)).
  • Translators and post-editors found the task equally challenging (3.2.3 The translation and the post-editing experience (research question 1.6)).
  • The most challenging aspect of the task was syntactic complexity for both groups (3.2.3 The translation and the post-editing experience (research question 1.6)).
  • Most of the problem terms students named were related to pragmatics and not to bilingualism (3.2.3 The translation and the post-editing experience (research question 1.6)).
  • Students in the PE condition had difficulties identifying terminological problems; they seemed to have a more blurred view of what a term and what an ordinary lexical item were in the ST (3.2.3 The translation and the post-editing experience (research question 1.6)).
  • In the PE condition, SL reading skills emerged as key sub-skills showing a number of significant correlations with performance indices (3.2.4.1 Correlations between sub-competencies and performance measures (time on task and error numbers)).
  • In the HT condition, awareness of terminological and syntactic difficulties was coupled with a lower number of accuracy errors (3.2.4.2 Correlations between indices of task perception and performance measures).
  • In the PE group, the (false) belief that PE helps with terminology was associated with higher accuracy errors (3.2.4.2 Correlations between indices of task perception and performance measures).
