FORMATION OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES OF FUTURE TRANSLATORS THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A TERMINOLOGY PROJECT

The article considers the technology of terminology project implementation as a mechanism for the formation of professional competencies of future translators. The result of the developed methodology is the integration of theoretical learning and application of the acquired knowledge in practice, which fits into the concepts of experiential learning, problem-based and contextual learning. The authors analyze translation as a two-dimensional process, focused, firstly, on the text itself and, secondly, on the client of the translation, in interaction with whom important professional skills are formed. Using the example of the terminology project for WIPO PEARL, the Multilingual Portal of the World Intellectual Property Organization the authors conclude that projects, commissioned by the real consumer of translation, immerse students in the professional environment, teach students how to interact with the client, sharpen their ability to see a problem situation and find ways to solve it. The results obtained testify to the high motivation of the students who perform their work in close collaboration with customers at all stages and receive feedback from them. The importance of reflection at the final stage of the project is emphasized. The authors reveal perspectives for the inclusion of such projects in the educational process, noting the importance of connecting academic learning with the possibility of creating a socially important product.
