The discipline aims to develop basic skills in translation from Ukrainian into Portuguese (first foreign language). It is a specialized discipline and is included in the free choice blocks "Translation in Intercultural Communication" and "Written and Oral Sectoral Translation". It promotes the acquisition of basic knowledge and skills in A-B translation. This implies a generally common approach to teaching the discipline within both blocks, with a distinctive thematic and sectoral nature of the texts offered for translation. The course teaches students to solve grammatical and lexical-grammatical problems relevant to a given language pair in translation, develops skills in finding lexical equivalents and overcoming common genre and style problems. Languages of instruction, teaching and assessment are Portuguese and Ukrainian.
