GRAMMAR IN ALGORITHMS: THE ROLE OF THE ARTICLE IN THE ANALYSIS AND TRANSLATION OF THE GERMAN TEXT

Abstract

The new professional challenge – teaching MA students of German as a second foreign language from zero level, in the amount of 80 classroom hours, has prompted the teachers to define new learning content which includes extracting information from a scientific text of economic origin. The algorithmic approach is taken as the primary learning tool, applied through the extensive use of linguistic algorithms to acquire the knowledge of German grammar and computer-based training programs to strengthen translation skills. The effect of the new algorithmic method was illustrated by working on the grammar unit “Articles”.
