There are different attitudes towards the use of translation in foreign language teaching, which are often split between two extremes. This paper will aim to present the positive views on the role of translation within language degrees in general, and in particular in those situations when there is a lack of nation-wide professional schools and university courses specialized in translator training. As a contribution to a positive perspective of pedagogical translation at university level, the paper will reveal the results of a surveyconducted among the undergraduate students from the language departments atthe Faculty of Philology of the University of Montenegro. The survey had a goal to find out about the students' views on the role of translation exercises in acquiring both language competence and translation competence.
