Abstract

With the rapid social and economic development, and the increasingly frequent international exchanges, the demand for high-quality translators and interpreters is surging. However, the current traditional cultivation models in many colleges and universities no longer keep pace with the growing demand and requirement of the times. Therefore, it is an urgent task of these colleges and universities to cultivate well-rounded Chinese-English translators and interpreters. Students should not only grasp textbook knowledge but also know how to apply the knowledge in practical fields with the assistance of modernized science and technology. This study puts forward a parallel corpus-driven teaching approach in the courses of the Applied Translation and Applied Interpreting in an attempt to offer some suggestions for the innovation in teaching approaches, with Jilin International Studies University as an example. The corpora involved in this study include four sub-corpuses, namely news, science and technology, business, and tourism.
