The significance of English as the primary language for international communication is undeniable, making the enhancement of English application skills a critical educational goal. College English translation teaching plays a pivotal role in this endeavor, yet it is confronted with the urgent need for reform due to several challenges that hinder the development of students' translation competencies. The uniformity of teaching content often fails to capture the diverse interests and professional aspirations of students, leading to a lack of engagement and practical application. Traditional pedagogical approaches that rely on rote learning and passive reception of information are ill-suited to the dynamic nature of language and translation. Furthermore, the passivity of students in the learning process, coupled with a shortage of qualified teaching staff, exacerbates the issue, limiting the potential for skill enhancement and mastery. To tackle these challenges, a multifaceted approach to improvement is warranted. First, the curriculum must be reimagined to align with the professional and practical needs of students. This involves integrating real-world scenarios, industry-specific language, and hands-on translation exercises into the syllabus, which can significantly boost students' interest and practical translation skills. By contextualizing the learning experience within familiar and relevant domains, students are more likely to appreciate the value of translation skills and apply themselves with greater vigor. Secondly, pedagogical strategies should evolve to become more dynamic and interactive. This can be achieved by incorporating collaborative projects, role-playing exercises, and problem-based learning into the classroom. Such methods not only encourage active participation but also foster a sense of camaraderie and shared responsibility among students, which can be instrumental in stimulating their enthusiasm for learning and translating. Moreover, the professional development of teachers is paramount. Instructors should be equipped with the latest knowledge and pedagogical techniques to effectively guide students in mastering translation skills. This can be facilitated through continuous training programs, workshops, and exposure to cutting-edge research in the field of translation studies. By enhancing the professional quality and teaching abilities of educators, the overall effectiveness of teaching is bound to improve. The integration of Internet resources into translation teaching offers a wealth of opportunities to enrich the learning experience. Online platforms, databases, and multimedia tools can provide students with access to a vast array of learning materials, including articles, videos, and interactive simulations. Furthermore, the Internet facilitates connections with native speakers and professional translators, offering students the chance to engage in real-life translation projects and gain valuable practical experience. By implementing these measures, college English translation teaching can become a more effective and engaging learning experience for students. The combination of updated teaching content, diverse and interactive pedagogical methods, professional development for educators, and the utilization of Internet resources will not only improve students' translation abilities but also foster their overall comprehensive progress. As a result, students will be better prepared to navigate the complexities of international communication and contribute meaningfully to the global community.
