Students of the Institute of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science took part in the VII All-Russian seminar devoted to the translation of poetry. The event took place in the TSU Research Library on the 21st of March, 2024.
The seminar organized by the Faculty of Foreign Languages is held annually. This year it focused on the history of Tomsk and poems devoted to Tomsk and other cities located in Russia as well as abroad. The participants had a unique opportunity to learn more about the place where they live and study. Moreover, they got acquainted with the basics of art, poetry and translation.
First year students and second year students of IAMCS were invited to the seminar by their English teacher, Anastasiia Olegovna Kozlova, who works at the Department of English in Science Communication, Faculty of Foreign Languages of TSU, and organizes the event together with the colleagues from the Department of English in Science Communication and FFL every year.
The students of IAMCS were lucky to dive into the world of poetry, history and translation. They listened to short interactive lectures devoted to cities and art, learned the general rules that one needs to follow when translating songs and practiced together with future translators. The organizers also tested their knowledge of Tomsk history with the help of the online quiz. First year students of IAMCS, Nikita Salnikov, Maksim Kaznacheev, Aleksei Anisimov, Ekaterina Semionova, Leonid Irintseev, Stepan Shepilov, Ivan Veretnov, Bogdan Gladuschenko and Andrei Klygin, showed excellent results.
As part of the seminar, its participants had to translate a song about Tomsk from Russian into English. Second year students of IAMCS turned out to be great translators. Danil Portenko, Vsevolod Viktorov, Mikhail Fedorischev, Pavel Kharchenko, Aleksandra Rychkova, Maksim Diubov and Roman Kolodkin worked in a team and became second in this competition, which the organizers announced in the official VK community of the seminar on April 11th.
