Abstract

The paper outlines didactic conditions of organizing foreign language training courses within postgraduate programs of non-linguistic training fields. Based on theoretical and empirical research, the authors offer methodological recommendations for developing translation skills within the structure of the foreign language communicative competence of masters (MSc) and postgraduate (PhD) students. The need to develop translation skills within the foreign language communicative competence was established by surveying MSc and PhD students at Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy. The authors establish the theoretical background for this need, and make methodological recommendations regarding fundamental and instrumental training components of the Foreign Language course. On the basis of the proposed algorithms of the proper formation of translation skills, graduates of MSc and PhD programs will be able to competently and more accurately extract practically and professionally relevant information from foreign language sources, fully understand, process and present it in different formats, and apply it for their own scientific and professional purposes.
