METHODOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES FOR TRANSLATION TRAINING IN GROUPS OF LEGAL TRACK OF TRAINING

The peculiarity of training translators in the field of legal activity is determined, firstly, by the thematic, subject-specific nature of this sphere of human life and, secondly, by the nature of communication that legal employees enter into. Training of translators must be conducted on a textual basis: various operations with the text (reading, elementary translation, modeling, simultaneous and reverse translation) should be the main content of the training sessions. Separate subject blocks should be devoted to the historical aspects of the legal system of the target language country, its comparison with the legal system of the native country, and the features (asymmetry) of legal terminology and the established traditional legal practice (procedure) of both countries. In this regard, it is effective to interpret the stylistic systems of both languages and the place of legal style in them. Thus, the English stylistic system implies greater freedom of using lexical, morphological and syntactic resources of the language in the legal sphere, while the similar Russian system (with the exception of judicial eloquence) is a rather rigid, closed and cliched structure. The forms of training sessions for translators in the legal field are determined not only by the subject content, but also by the general didactic experience associated with a positive result and the effectiveness of the learning process. Therefore, it makes sense to proportionally combine individual, pair and group forms of classes. As practice shows, role-playing sessions based on a predefined scenario and without it are highly effective.
