A Mechanism for Preparing Future Translators for Oral and Written Translation Activities

Abstract

This article examines the development of the professional competence and its ethnolinguistic component of future translators based on an acmeological approach. It substantiates the pedagogical effectiveness of utilizing authentic materials related to the socio-political sphere and the specific characteristics of the region where the higher education institution is located. The article analyzes the integration of translation theory and practice, as well as the role of modern information and communication technologies and computer laboratories. Furthermore, it outlines mechanisms for developing translation skills through pre-translation and practical exercises, translation training sessions, back-translation, business and simulation games, and methods fostering reflective thinking and self-directed learning (autodidactics) based on the Socratic dialogue approach.
