А15 Fundamentals of theory and practice of translation. Manual. – Astana: “Turan-Astana” University, 2014. – 352 pp.

The tutorial is intended for students of the "Translation studies" specialty, undergraduates, it gives an idea about the general problems of the theory of translation connected with the revealing of its essence, the specification of models of translation activity, a description of its types, methods of translation. There is a personality of translator given, the parameters of its structure described. Also there are examined the lexical and stylistic issues of translation, the focus is on the national specificity of lexical and stylistic units, causing difficulties in the translation activity.

The educational material is grouped in topical arrangements and staffed within the case modules' framework representing the set of submodules enabling one to familiarize the trainees with the theoretical information and to consolidate it in slideshow illustrations, assignments, exercises. The control over the acquiring of the material studied is carried out in the course of questions-answering mode, and also by testing procedure.
