The victory of HBTI students in the translation quest

The teams of HBTI RUDN took part in the translation quest at MGIMO.

The quest simulates the most important situations from the point of view of translation activity and, thus, allows students to assess the level of their professional qualities. The experience of competing with their potential competitors and partners in the translation market also helps to increase the motivation of the future translator and allows him to correctly place the emphasis in the learning process.

The competition was attended by more than a hundred students, both bachelors and masters-representatives of such leading Russian universities that train translators as MGIMO, MSU, HSE, MSLU, St. Petersburg State University.

HBTI teams were represented by the first and second courses.

Before the start of the competition, the children were divided into teams, including students from different universities.

The tasks were on different "stations". Teams could either gain points or lose points.

According to the results of the translation quest, Milena Karavaeva, Yegor Glukhovchenko and Veronika Movsesyan took the first place both in terms of translation skills and language proficiency, and in SMM voting.

Alexandra Hoffman's team took the honorable third place.

The team of Alexandra Bayakhchiyants and Nikita Morsky - fourth place.

Congratulations to the students of IGBiT and their mentor in English Kamo Pavlovich Chilingaryan with a great result!
