Several commonly recognized approaches to translation will be studied. Possible topics offered will be perspectives on translation, issues, and debates in translation studies; translating; modeling the process, text and discourse, text analysis in translation; translation training and translation quality assessment, and issues in teaching translation in universities. The course also provides students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in translation.
