Exercises achieve different goals: from distinguishing general texts from specialist texts, learning specialist terminology from selected thematic circles, expanding the range of specialized vocabulary, by improving language skills in selected fields in A and B, to improve the process of translating specialist texts and creating terminological glossaries with the option of exporting data to translation memories.
Students prepare for specialist translation and solve terminological problems encountered using terminology sources available in A and B and improve skills in the qualitative assessment of terminology sources.
Student workload:
30h - preparation for classes and work during classes (1ECTS)
