THE POTENTIAL OF VIRTUAL EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR TEACHING PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATION

Abstract

The article discusses didactic possibilities of using information and communication technologies for teaching translation in a changing educational environment. The training objectives are defined in terms of the formation of linguistic and ICT skills, as well as the professional skills of students studying translation. An assessment is made of the methodological potential of ICT tools, such as online quizzes, chats, wikis, forums, glossaries, seminars, used not only for actual, but also for procedural learning. These tools have been proven to overcome temporal and spatial barriers while maintaining a personalized approach. The conclusion is made about the need to rethink the existing models of education, integration of electronic tools and collaborative learning not only as a means, but also as a goal of training translators. Promising directions for the development of interactive materials for translation pedagogy are proposed.
