Abstract
4^<th> year students of Japanese at the University of Ljubljana practice translating from their mother tongue Slovene into Japanese. To overcome their tendency to passively expect "correct" translations from their teacher, an electronic bullettin board system was introduced where students publish their translations and other students comment on them. Students were found to comment more freely and exhaustively within the bulletin board system than in regular classes, thus showing that communication through a bulletin board can effectively contribute to raising student autonomy and awareness of translation problems.
