Popis: Teaching of translation and writing in the university classroom tends to focus on task knowledgeby practicing text production and analyzing and discussing the quality of products. In thisarticle, we will argue that the outcome of teaching may be increased if students are taught tosee themselves not only as learners, but also as thinkers and problem solvers. This can beachieved by systematically applying knowledge from process research as this can give insightinto mental and physical processes of text production. This article provides an overview ofmethods commonly used in process research and discusses the pros and cons of their applicationin teaching of translation and writing at university levels.
