To improve educational curricula and enhance effectiveness of pedagogicalactivities, educators need to make efforts to understand their learners. Inthis context, the purpose of this paper is to investigate and documentmotivations and expectations of students in an interpretation andtranslation program. In the study, 23 first-year students in a graduateprogram of interpretation and translation produced written essays on theirmotivations, which were qualitatively analyzed in terms of variousmotivational types in order to explore what motivated them to pursue thiscareer path. The preliminary findings suggest that their motivations werenot only intrinsic but also extrinsic in the sense that they expect variousinstrumental benefits associated with the program. Also, their successfulEnglish language learning experiences and positive images of interpreterswere identified as key motivating factors for the learners. The paperdiscusses major findings and their pedagogical implications.
