Full-time form

To successfully complete the course, students must know Spanish and Ukrainian at a level not lower than B2, be able to perform non-specialised paragraph-phrase consecutive translation from Spanish into Ukrainian, know and be able to use the most common translation techniques and methods to solve translation difficulties and achieve equivalence, be able to maintain a thematic glossary and learn by heart interlingual equivalents that are potentially useful in interpreting situations.

The discipline belongs to the elective block "Translation in Intercultural Communication" of the educational and professional programme. It has a specialised nature and is a two-semester course. The course introduces students to the basic information about consecutive interpreting, its essential characteristics in comparison with other types of translation, typical situations of its application and relevant techniques that need to be trained for successful interlingual and intercultural mediation: memorisation and translator shorthand, typical translation transformations in consecutive mode, introduces elements of crisis management in interpreting: calquing, hyperonymic translation, transcription, etc. Particular attention is paid to the need for intercultural adaptations in a bilateral interpreting situation. Lectures are delivered in Spanish. Practical classes are conducted in Spanish and Ukrainian.
