“…The actual function of a graduation paper is shaping the student's thinking so as to make it a professional translation mindset (Ivanov & Sdobnikov, 2020) without which all the skills and techniques, however practised and honed, become useless. Now the question is how the existing approaches to supervising students' research papers help in developing critical thinking and forming a professional mindset in translation students.…”

A graduation paper of a translation student is an obligatory part of State Final Certification in Russian universities. It is traditionally viewed as a form of control, a way of assessing the degree to which a student's professional competences have been formed. This approach seems to be incorrect in two respects. First, the procedure of defending a graduation paper does not really give any chance to see a student's practical translation skills. They can and should be assessed at the state examination in translation, which unfortunately and inexplicably has received the status of optional. Second, limiting the function of a graduation paper to that of control seems to be an inexcusable waste of precious study hours, the shortage of which is a widespread problem common to all universities. Students work on their graduation papers for two years, so this work should be used as a means of teaching, of forming professional competences and shaping the students' professional mindset. This task requires careful choice of research topics. They should fit into the general paradigm of teaching translation, help to bring together all the professional competences for students to see how they are interconnected and how their assemblage forms a translator's professional personality.

“…Учитывая специфику подготовки бакалавров как базового высшего практико-ориентированного лингвистического и переводческого Таким образом, одним из главных требований к бакалаврской ВКР должна быть её практическая направленность. Работая над выпускной работой, студент должен, несомненно, опираться на базовые теоретические знания, полученные во время обучения, но в первую очередь должен показать, что он владеет профессиональными компетенциями и готов к реальной профессиональной деятельности [4]. Это предполагает, что студент, среди прочего, должен знать тенденции современного переводческого рынка (т. е. ориентироваться на те жанры текста, которые на сегодняшний день переводятся), владеть инструментами перевода и уметь самостоятельно (без подсказки преподавателя или однокурсников) принимать переводческие решения.…”

The article deals with the requirements for the Linguistics Bachelor’s thesis, the program of Translation and Translation Studies in the Buryat State University. At present the issue of correlation between the research topics of graduate papers and needs of the translation market is becoming relevant because it helps to improve the quality of future translators’ preparation. Bachelor’s thesis should solve real complex translation objectives. The purpose of this article is to justify the need for a practical orientation of the Bachelor’s thesis. The methodological basis of the study is a practiceoriented approach to learning. The material of the study is the Federal Educational Standard in Linguistics, Bachelor’s level; the Professional Translator Standard, Buryat State University students’ graduate papers of the past five years majoring in Translation and Translation Studies. Research methods are analysis of the translation theory and practice literature; study and analysis of legal documents regulating the process of obtaining Bachelor’s degrees in Linguistics, the method of summarizing pedagogical experience. The Professional Translator Standard’s introduction requires the revision of practice-oriented approach to training and to writing the Bachelor’s graduate papers, which changes the research tasks of the Bachelor’s thesis and the selection of the material of the thesis that would meet the market requirements. Keywords: linguistic education, translator’s competencies, graduate paper, bachelor’s thesis,practical-oriented approach, translation solutions
