Considering the act of translation as one of the types of interlingual and intercultural communication and as an act of creating a text, communicatively equal to the original one, the course English-Ukrainian Translation and Editing is aimed to help students to develop translational, cognitive, communicative, linguistic, editing and sociocultural competences, as well as an understanding of peculiarities of an interpreter’s work when it comes to overcoming challenges in scientific and educational, and pragmatic aspects on lexical, grammatical and stylistic levels. Students will have an opportunity to practically improve their skills in performing translation of texts, created to serve in different fields of human activities, in written and spoken form as well as extend their knowledge and improve their skills in the editing of texts of different functional styles and genres, which is a prerequisite to being able to perform an own high-quality translation, using online services and other sources. The discipline is one of the mandatory components (Part 2) of a complex multi-semester discipline “Bilateral translation and editing”. It summarises knowledge obtained during accomplishing previous courses and is a base for learning the next courses in computational linguistics and translation.
