Abstract
Teaching translation in the global educational environment is associated with the integration of theoretical, methodological and didactic approaches: the search for effective solutions to translation problems can be optimized due to the openness and intensity of academic discussions and the large scale of professional communication of translators. This article considers it necessary to analyze the current translation paradigm focusing on its functionality in preparing translators for the work with texts of tourism discourse and to suggest a variant of didactic translation of tourism texts. The analysis of national and foreign academic and educational papers has been carried out. These papers describe didactic models in teaching different types of translation and discourse-dependent translation strategies. The theoretically substantiated methodological principles forming the basis for the didactization of tourism texts are studied in the article. The research material is represented by the German and Russian texts, which were used in the educational process at Volgograd State University (Russia) and at Johannes Gutenberg University (Germany). The theoretical basis is represented by the concepts of various Russian and German translation scholars, which are significant in the educational process of both universities. The article reveals an algorithm of tourism texts didacticization, shows the genre specifics of tourism texts and studies the problematic areas caused by the cultural transfer of tourism-relevant information. The recommendations for the pre-translation analysis of texts are suggested, since the cultural dimension influences the translation of tourism texts. The practical significance of the research consists in the possibility of using the developed didactic principles in translators’ training. The results of the research can be useful for both specialists in translation studies and intercultural communication and specialists in the field of tourism.
