The country studies translation practice consists of three stages, each of which lasts a week. At the beginning of the practice, each student must choose a topic for a paper from the list suggested by the supervisor (topics should not be repeated within the group) and prepare a paper-translation from the native language of texts on the country studies topic. Stage I involves: selection of texts in the native language on the chosen topic (20 pages); approval by the supervisor; translation of a part (at least 25%) of the texts from the native language into Ukrainian on the chosen topic. Stage II involves the final translation of the texts; preparation and writing of a translation essay. Stage III involves giving a lecture (presentation, excursion) based on the materials of the essay-translation; preparing an annotation of the essay-translation and writing a report on the practice.
