USING VISUAL ANALYSIS TOOLS OF BATTLE PAINTING IN THE PROCESS OF TRAINING MILITARY INTERPRETERS

Abstract

The article addresses the use of visual sources in the professional training of military translators. The authors propose a methodology for working with battle painting as educational material, enabling cadets to develop skills in systematic observation, structured analysis, and accurate verbalization of professionally significant information in a foreign language. The paper presents an algorithm for visual analysis adapted from the SALUTE+ military technique, a lesson plan based on F.A. Roubaud’s panorama “The Battle of Borodino,” and the results of the method’s implementation in a cadet group. The dynamics of key indicators (terminological vocabulary increase by 133%, fourfold growth in the proportion of cadets reaching the tactical assessment level, 3.3-fold reduction in identification errors) confirm the pedagogical effectiveness of the proposed approach.
