Abstract

translation of specialized texts is considered to be one of the most difficult types of translation activity. To perform a high-quality translation, a translator should possess the knowledge of the theory of translation, stylistic features of the text, general and specialized vocabulary etc. In addition, when working with a specialized text, the translator must understand its specifics in order to convey its meaning correctly. Translation of economic texts requires knowledge of the rules and laws regulating economic processes and the main tools used by the specialists to solve various economic tasks and problems. Teaching students to translate specialized texts is not an easy task for a teacher, even if he / she teaches linguistic students and future translators. The given article presents a review of domestic and foreign literature where professional translators and teachers discuss the main conditions and approaches to teaching translation of specialized (economic) texts; focus on some features of economic texts; define the professional competencies of the translator; characterize the specifics and difficulties of teaching specialized translation; offer ways to motivate and encourage students to translate specialized (economic) texts. The article also describes a practical (three-component) model of teaching translation of economic texts to undergraduate students in linguistics. This model was implemented in the educational process by the teachers of the Ural Federal University. The given work highlights all the components of this model, gives the final evaluation of the model, as well as the positive and negative results of its application.
