Abstract
The aim of the article is to present reflections on an innovative translation exercise based on television programmes that are available on the Internet. Gist translation of TV programmes not only develops students’ translation competence, but also helps to improve their language skills. On the basis of surveys conducted among students, the author also discusses the assessment of the difficulty of this exercise and the factors that affect its didactic efficiency. The analysis of the survey results showed that the extracted factors correlate with each other, and their complex consideration will significantly improve the effectiveness of this exercise. The author also shares his experience of the use of the exercise in teaching translation at the University of Warsaw and the University of Silesia in Katowice.
