Full-time form

The programme is aimed at students with an adequate level of training in English, Theory and Practice of Translation, Comparative Lexicology of English and Ukrainian, Comparative Stylistics of English and Ukrainian obtained during the first, second, third and fourth year of studies. The student should know: key linguistic categories; general principles of translation and interpreting; be able to: form a correct communicative-logical sentence structure; perform an adequate pre-translation source text analysis; use the target language means to render the integral genre-stylistic source text means; acquire a requisite minimum of extralinguistic knowledge on the Ukrainian and global linguoculture, genre theories and stylistic models. It implies a comprehensive study of strategies and tactics of resolving the professionally-important interlinguistic and cross-cultural tasks with an account of cognitive, linguopragmatic and sociocultural parameters.

The discipline is aimed at forming and developing the communicative-discursive competence of future translators. The attention is focused on honing the optimal use of language means to perform the spoken and written interaction under the typical translation-associated circumstances. The students continue to develop and train their skills of systematization and generalization of linguistic knowledge based on the theoretical courses and elective syllabi. The course is based on synthesis of linguistic, linguo-cognitive and spiritual development of future professionals and practitioners, knowledge of the key communicative translation research. The study is based on the individually-based and cognitive-communicative principles using authentic materials. The study comprises practical classes and individual training. At the end of the term, the students take a pass-fail test.
