abstract = {ABSTRACT: To   highlight   the   importance   of   teamwork   and   intra-team   relationships beyond the classroom, in a small study population of undergraduate students of  Translation  studies,  we  have  attempted  to  raise  awareness  of  teamwork processes  so  as  to  empower  learners  in  managing  their  interaction  and ensure  they  gain  valuable  pre-professional  experience.  Following  specific input  and  the  construction  of  randomized  teams,  we  questioned  learners about their previous and current experience of teamwork, their knowledge of team  colleagues and  the  changes  their  relationships  underwent,  and  prior academic  performance  versus  expectations  of  current  performance  and  how teamwork  might  influence  this.  Our  results  indicate  teamwork  substantially improved  levels  of  intimacy,  enhanced  the  quality  of  the  experience,  and raised awareness of the benefits of the team per se. However, some learners recognized  personal  difficulties  with  teamwork  that  they  were  unable  to overcome and,  in  this  context, “people  problems” became  increasingly important.  Nonetheless,  learners  were  convinced  that  teamwork  would  have a positive influence on their final grades.},
