During classes, working with fragments of films, video clips, animation, TV shows, streams and video games, etc., students have the practical opportunity to: 1) enrich their vocabulary with up-to-date words and phrases used in cinema and video materials; 2) observe how the features of dubbing or subtitles affect the transmission of audiovisual material in their native language; how they expand the translator's capabilities and impose restrictions; 3) observe how the basic principles of translation from Japanese (translation of sentences from the end, search for grammatical structure before starting translation, working with adjective phrases, etc.) function when working with texts in audiovisual format. Self-study of students includes work with films, animation, TV shows and video games, as well as mastering new vocabulary and grammatical constructions present in texts for translation.
