THEORETICAL BASIS FOR DEVELOPING THE COURSE «MODERN TRANSLATION TECHNOLOGIES. COMPUTER-AIDED TOOLS»

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the theoretical basis for the development of the translation technologies course, in particular computer-aided tools. The author lists a number of tasks which have to be solved to develop the course. They include the following: to determine the optimal number of computer-aided tools (CAT-tools) to be taught to future translators; to select specific CAT-tools which are to be included into the structure of the course; to determine the semester appropriate for introducing the course; to analyze types of exercises that will form the system of exercises; to select texts on which the exercises will be based; to develop criteria of assessing knowledge and skills acquired by students in the process of studying the course. The article lists possible solutions to the tasks set.
