Traditional Translation Teaching Research Articles

Application of translation technology based on AI in translation teaching

Nowadays, translation technology based on artificial intelligence (AI) has gradually matured. Traditional translation teaching methods have many limitations, such as time and space limitations, increased labor costs, etc. In this context, this article explored the application of translation technology based on AI in translation teaching. In this paper, neural machine translation (NMT) algorithm was used to encode and decode the original text to generate the corresponding translation. The statistical machine translation (SMT) algorithm was used to build the translation model, which was based on the statistical model. The algorithm searched for the best translation hypothesis through inference, which can improve the accuracy and readability of translation. Compared with traditional machine translation (MT), the accuracy rate of AI based translation in this paper reached 97 %, which was far higher than traditional MT and more suitable for teaching. The improvement in student translation was also relatively obvious, which can be clearly seen through students’ translation test scores. At the same time, the teacher's satisfaction with the AI translation teaching system in this article was also high, with an average score of 92 points. Through the application research of translation technology based on AI in translation teaching, AI translation teaching has a positive promoting effect on improving students’ translation level and efficiency.

The Application of ChatGPT in Translation Teaching: Changes, Challenges, and Responses

ChatGPT is a new natural language processing machine learning model with strong content production capabilities. ChatGPT has the potential to transform traditional translation teaching models, effectively assisting personalized teaching, promoting students’ autonomous learning, constructing new teaching subject relationships, innovating teaching management models, promoting the transformation of knowledge production methods, and expanding the research space of translation education and teaching. At the same time, the application of ChatGPT also poses potential risks, such as weakening learning autonomy, alienating teaching subject relationships, damaging academic integrity, triggering knowledge security risks, ethical risks, and ideological risks. In order to address challenges and fully leverage the potential of ChatGPT in translation teaching, it is necessary to innovate teaching models, reform teaching processes, enhance students’ self-learning abilities, strengthen translation ethics education and ideological risk education, and enhance the digital literacy of teachers and students. The new artificial intelligence represented by ChatGPT has strong teaching potential as a “human like teacher”, but it cannot replace the human factors in education and teaching, thus cannot change the essence of education. In the future, teachers will still play an irreplaceable role in many aspects.

Practical Research on Corpus-based Translation Teaching Modes of College English

Based on the practical research of a corpus-based translation teaching, this article discusses the importance of translation teaching in college English. While traditional translation teaching has been criticized for its focus on English culture only and outdated teaching methods, corpus-based translation teaching would meet the demand, which utilizes technology to provide authentic language input and improve translation competence. The benefits of corpus-based teaching include exposure to authentic language input and cultural context, while the challenges include the need for specialized training and balancing the use of corpora with other teaching methods. To prepare for the future, translation educators should emphasize technology skills and incorporate real-world translation examples and scenarios.

English Translation Ability for Cultivation Mode Based on Multimodal Auxiliary Scaffolding Teaching Method.

English learning occupies a very important position in college students' learning, and English translating is a skill that must be mastered to learn English, and translating can be used to measure the comprehensive level of college students' English learning. However, surveys show that English translation is still a difficult part of the English learning process for college students. Traditional translation teaching only focuses on the result and ignores the process; the classroom atmosphere is dull; students are not highly motivated to write; and students' knowledge of translating and its skills are lacking. Therefore, translating teaching should combine results and process and explore teaching methods that can improve students' interest and translating ability. In this paper, scaffolded teaching is the main teaching method, and multimodal teaching is used to support scaffolded teaching in college English translating teaching. This study provides experimental support for the interactive group teaching method. It also provides a feasible teaching method option for college English teachers to implement student-centered teaching practices and helps college English teachers transition from the traditional teacher-oriented indoctrination classroom teaching method to a student-centered teaching method that combines English skill development and skill application. In addition, students in the experimental group were equipped with the ability to self-correct and spontaneously improve on problems that occurred in their language. This study finds that in the group interactive cooperative teaching method, the teacher's heuristic teaching with questions to promote answers can effectively improve college students' intrinsic motivation to learn English; students' cooperative exploration of the questions raised by the teacher in the group is conducive to cultivating students' autonomy in English learning; in the teaching activities, the use of teaching materials to train students' skills instead of sentence-by-sentence translation and grammatical analysis of sentence structures can help students master At the same time, the interactive and cooperative group teaching method, which involves students in learning through group activities, can effectively improve students' English performance.

Embedding Technology in Teaching Translation

Are teachers reaching or engaging their students? With the development of different kinds of translation theories, translation studies have greatly developed; however teaching translation has not been discussed thoroughly. In fact, the development information technology has had a wide range of effect on education, but traditional translation teaching is far from suitable for the current translation teaching. This paper will answer the above questions .It deals with a new approach of teaching translation, i.e. embedding technology in teaching translation. It focuses more on teaching translation effectively and highlighting the role of technology in facilitating processes of both teaching and learning. Mainly the aim of teaching translation is to improve student's language competence. However, three levels of the aim of teaching translation are explained and some disadvantages of traditional translation teaching (TTT) are discussed. Furthermore, a comparison is made between TTT and teaching translation with technology (TTWT). It is found that embedding technology in teaching translation is an important technique that should be incorporated in the classroom .

The Construction of the Mobile Interactive Translation Teaching Model

The traditional translation teaching model has been unable to adapt to the needs of the new era and the use of new technologies is urgently needed.

Rationales for Cooperative Tasks in Taiwan Translation Learning

In recent years, English teaching and learning have been getting considerable attention in Taiwan. Universities and colleges have been asked by the Ministry of Education to encourage language-majored students to take translation-related courses in order to raise the level of student’s translation competence. To meet this need, since 2003, the Ministry of Education has included English Translation I and English Translation II as core courses and provided official syllabi and guidelines for language departments and teachers. However, the features in the official syllabi seem to be missing parts in Taiwan translation instruction. A number of studies have found that many translation teachers still utilize traditional translation teaching methods. In a traditional classroom, the instruction is more teacher-centered, so students tend to rely only on the teacher’s suggestions and believe in teachers’ “perfect’ or ‘correct’ translation. With the increasing importance of translation learning, and the need for a cooperative and interactive teaching method suggested by the MOE, it is necessary to develop an alternative teaching approach for translation teachers. Therefore, the researcher intends to design a cooperative translation task which meets translation teachers’ and students’ needs. This study is a preliminary study working on the rationales for designing a cooperative translation task. This study addressed the following research questions: (1) What rationales should be included in this cooperative translation task? (2) How can rationales be realized in the design of the cooperative translation task? Based on the literature reviews, three main rationales will be used for the design of a cooperative translation task for Taiwanese college translation learners. The first prototype of the task, the Cooperative Translation Task (CoTT), will be provided in the current study.

A Feasibility Study of Error Analysis on the Teaching of Chinese-English Translation—A Case Study of Non-English Major Freshmen in BUPT

Error Analysis is one of the most common methods in statistics. According to Corder S. P (1967) error is significant to learners. This paper applies it to the teaching of Chinese-English translation. Taking a whole class as a research unit and by analyzing the common errors made by students in their homework, the researcher records the error types, numbers of each type of error as well as the corresponding frequencies separately. Then the researcher lists out the top six errors and calculates the total frequency of them (total percentage of the six errors occupied in the class). After the analysis, the teacher feedbacks the results to the students as well as explains the methods of error identification and correction. This paper compares two non-English major classes with 60 freshmen; one has adopted “Error Analysis” in the teaching of Chinese-English Translation, while the other has not. Finally after one semester, the class which has applied “Error Analysis” makes greater progress than the class not. From some aspects, the research does show that “Error Analysis Teaching Method” could promote the Chinese-English translating skills of non-English major freshmen. Though this research has its limitations, it is valuable in improving the traditional translation teaching strategies.
