It serves as a logical continuation of the educational discipline "Translation Practice from the First Language for Intercultural Communication." This course aims to further develop students' professional translation competence, deepen existing knowledge, enhance translation skills, acquire new language skills, and overcome lexical, grammatical, and stylistic challenges in translation. The discipline is elective and falls under the optional block "Linguistics and Translation." In the seventh semester, the course is taught for a total of 180 hours (6 credits), with 90 hours in the classroom and 90 hours of independent student work.
