Abstract. The relevance of the study is due to the need for an in-depth analysis of onomastic vocabulary and the possibility of its use within English classes for future translators. Three main types of translation exercises have been studied: non-communicative, conditionally communicative and communicative. The study developed a number of visual exercises (according to each of the types) that can be used by the teacher in English classes for future translators. The exercises were based on the series of novels “Witcher” by Andrzej Sapkowsky, including the books “The Last Wish” and “The Sword of Destiny”. It is established that the use of all three types of exercises is important for the complex development of translation skills because all of them should debe used at different stages of elaboration of a new lexical topic; all of them have different directions, goals and methods of implementation. Thus, non-communicative exercises do not depend on the context and are aimed mainly at methodical sharpening of the studied material and bringing the student’s knowledge to automatism. Conditionally communicative exercises are characterized by proximity to the real language situation, but there is an unnatural repetition of vocabulary and grammar being studied. At this stage, the student can translate individual phrases, determine the type of translation transformations, etc. The stage of communicative exercises is the most difficult, because it involves direct work of the student with the text or its individual fragments (without prompts from the teacher).
