Данное пособие является методической разработкой к учебнику «New Insights into Business» (авт. Graham Tullis; Tonya Trappe) и предназначено для студентов экономических специальностей, а также факультетов менеджмента и делового администрирования, владеющих английским языком на уровне Intermediate (средний) и Upper-Intermediate (выше среднего).
Целью пособия является закрепление лексики данного учебника и выработка навыков перевода текстов, содержащих экономическую и деловую терминологию, с английского на русский и с русского языка на английский. Особое внимание уделяется таким сложностям изучения английского языка, как фразовые глаголы и идиоматика в текстах специальной литературы, их адекватное понимание и правильное толкование на родном языке. Опыт работы с английскими учебниками показывает, что студенты, справляясь с переводом текстов и лексических единиц на русский язык, испытывают очевидные трудности при попытке адекватно сформулировать мысли на английском, используя активную лексику урока.
Данное пособие реализует принцип сопоставительного изучения языков русского и английского, который способствует созданию у студентов правильного понимания и умения правильно употреблять изучаемый языковой материал в общении и переводе с родного языка. Поэтому использование родного языка (русского) имеет основную цель обучения коммуникации на иностранном языке.
Помимо этого, пособие ставит цель расширения лингвострановедческих знаний, способствующих развитию навыков общения с носителями другого языка и культуры, усвоение которых способствует становлению современного, высококультурного специалиста.
