Abstract

The relevance of the problem is stipulated by the need for highly qualified specialists capable of effective interlingual and intercultural communication in the context of globalisation and European integration of Ukraine. The article deals with the essence of translation competence as a key component of professional training of future Polish translators in higher education institutions. The authors clarify the content of the concept of ‘translation competence’ and define the requirements for training specialists in accordance with modern educational standards. The methodological basis of the study is the theoretical and methodological developments of linguists, psycholinguists, and philologists who focus on the formation and development of translation competence and the development of modern methodological approaches. Their research confirms that translation competence is an integral part of the training of future translators. The study presents a typology of educational tasks that contribute to the development of translation competence, including: written translation of texts of different styles, role-playing games with elements of interpretation, translation with commentary on linguistic decisions, terminology-centric exercises, work with culturally marked elements and audiovisual translation. The didactic value of such tasks is outlined. It is concluded that it is necessary to introduce a systematic and purposeful approach to the organisation of translation training for students of captivity. Prospects for further research are seen in the creation of innovative learning models using digital technologies and interdisciplinary integration.
