Analysis and correction of translation errors as a tool for enhancing the translation skills among students of humanities with in-depth study of a foreign language

The aim of the research is to describe the potential of using translated texts as elements of teaching translation skills to students of humanities with in-depth study of a foreign language at B2-C1 level by searching, analyzing, and correcting linguistic errors in translated texts. The research materials include polymodal full-length and short-form texts in English and French, localized into Russian as part of professional or amateur dubbing. A methodology for working with translated texts of various types is proposed, and a series of exercises is developed aimed at searching, analyzing, and correcting translation errors at all language levels: phonetic, lexical, grammatical, syntactic, and stylistic. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that it is the first one to conduct a comprehensive description of the application of the method of analyzing translation errors when working with polymodal foreign language texts, including original texts in two foreign languages, as well as assessing the translation of texts through the use of new technologies. The result of the research was the development and testing of a set of exercises aimed at developing active listening skills, the ability to analyze and compare original and localized texts, as well as the development of students’ linguocultural competence.
