Integrative translation competencies formation in the multidisciplinary university

Modern higher education is still in the process of transition to the new educational paradigm, which is aimed at the development of a contemporary and highly qualified professional. Nowadays it becomes possible to receive higher education in non-related areas, with one of the main requirements for future translators being not only having the impeccable knowledge of linguistics and a high language proficiency, but rather possessing certain professional knowledge and skills allowing to work both in the general and specialized fields. The article considers the model of integrative translation competencies formation for the students of a multidisciplinary university through the example of engineering and linguistic profiles. The author of the article analyzes the integrative translation competencies nomenclature and defines the term ‘integrative translation competency’ as one of the basic concepts revealing the dualism of modern higher education. The paper also substantiates the patterns of integrative translation competencies formation for the future translators studying at a multidisciplinary university. The research presents the model for integrative translation competencies formation, based on the integration of the competencies of parallel educational programs. The model represents the unity of conceptual and objective, comprehensive, technological and resulting components. Modeling the process of integrative translation competencies formation, the author makes a conclusion on the prospects of integrative model implementation in the educational process of a multidisciplinary university, which requires further experimental verification. The research may be beneficial for modeling the educational programs in Linguistics, as well as for developing university syllabus for the courses of written speech, applied translation and training courses for the teachers of translation and foreign languages in multidisciplinary universities.
