Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of professional and pedagogical training targeted to the future translators of English and Chinese in Ukraine’s universities.

The author’s interpretation of the terms “readiness”, “training”, “professional training”, “preparedness” is represented in the paper. The term “training” covers these constituents: a stock of knowledge, skills, experience acquired in the process of training, practical activities. “Students’ readiness for translation activity” is considered as a set of interrelated personal and functional properties of the subject (a student ‒ future translator of the Chinese and English languages), necessary for the effective implementation of professional translation activities in accordance with regulatory requirements, put forward by the end of professional training. A complex model structuring the readiness of the future Chinese- and English-languages translator (taking into account the qualification specifics) for professional (translation- and pedagogy-oriented) activities is described in the research; the designated model includes a set of motivational and evaluative qualities of an individual, his / her professional and pedagogical knowledge and skills, skills and experience required for successful translation activity in the professional environment and pedagogical activity under conditions of the person- and competence-oriented approaches to students’ training and up-bringing.

The components of the future English- and Chinese-languages translator’s readiness for translation activities are specified: linguistic-motivational, communicative-informational, operational and activity-centred.

The vector of professional training targeted to the future translators of English and Chinese in the context of diplomatic relations between China and Ukraine is seen as a perspective of further research
