Developing Ukrainian Students’ Skills in Translating Official Documents from Chinese into English and Ukrainian.
Abstract
Some modern tendencies in the field of training Ukrainian students to translate official documents from Chinese into English and Ukrainian are presented in the article. The linguistic peculiarities of the official academic discourse are described; the appropriate translation techniques while reproducing the content of the Chinese academic documents in English and Ukrainian are introduced. Certain aspects that could impede the holistic educational process aimed at training Ukrainian students to translate the designated material are determined. The authors highlight the significance of the linguocultural component in methodological support.
