COMBINING TRANSLATION THEORY AND INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION FOR MUSEUM PODCAST INTERSEMIOTIC TRANSLATION

Abstract

This article presents an interdisciplinary pedagogical project that integrates translation theory and intercultural communication through students' creation of intersemiotic translation of English-language museum podcasts. Based on Jakobson's theory of intersemiotic translation and Skopos theory, students independently transcribed audio podcasts, which aimed to popularize cultural heritage of Central Kazakhstan among youth, and translated them into Russian adapted for younger school students. The results of the project demonstrate the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary approach in developing students' translation and intercultural competencies.
