APPLYING THE THEORY OF SOLVING INVENTIVE PROBLEMS IN THE PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATORS TRAINING

Abstract

The relevance of the present issue is caused by a strong need to search for educational technologies aimed not only at acquiring knowledge, but also at developing students’ personal, cognitive and creative abilities. One of the concepts that allow to maintain such balance is the pedagogical system of the theory of solving inventive problems (TRIZ), founded by Russian Prof. M.M. Zinovkina and based on the problem-search method and independent creative activities of students. The aim of the article is to implement TRIZ-technology method in 2 groups of linguists-translators (control and experimental) at the Faculty of Foreign Languages in Russian State Social University. Methods of transformation in the translation of proper names from English into Russian are identified and classified. The results of the research and t-Student criterion calculation showed that the experimental group did better than the control one. For the first time, TRIZ elements, originally created to solve scientific and technical problems, are successfully applied in the field of linguistics in the preparation of linguists-translators.
