The aim of the discipline is to develop and enhance the general and professional competencies necessary for understanding the fundamental principles of the oral translation process during conferences and meetings, as well as to study the main types of translation equivalents based on working with a wide range of texts. This discipline belongs to the "Oral Translation" elective block and provides students with preparation for professional translation activities. The practical sessions focus on familiarizing students with the lexical, grammatical, syntactic, and genre-stylistic features of conference translation, as well as acquiring practical skills in translation techniques and understanding the appropriateness of their usage based on genre-specific norms and functional characteristics of translating various types of speeches (presentations, remarks, amendment justifications, chairing a meeting, etc.). The teaching and evaluation are conducted in English and Ukrainian languages.
