Students will have the opportunity to practically improve their skills of written and oral translation of the text, as well as master the basics of stylistic (genre), communicative-pragmatic, and gender analysis of the text, improve their knowledge and skills of translation analysis of texts of various functional styles and genres, which is one of the prerequisites for their high-quality written translation.
