Abstract

In the context of economic globalization, countries and regions are increasingly participating more in international engineering projects, international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation, which has posed great requirements for the cultivation of qualified ST translator in universities worldwide. The integration of artificial intelligence in higher education has changed both the presentation of university courses and professional environment of scientific and technical translators, who must work with new formats and channels of information in a multi-disciplinary context. To meet new challenges, translation teachers must place special emphasis on the application of smart classroom. The study is devoted to the teaching design of scientific and technological (ST) translation based on the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) model in bachelor's programs. We argue for the inclusion of CLIL model as a new focus, and present the results of a research project aimed at designing teaching materials for scientific and technological translation, which highlights the potential benefits for all users in the acquisition of subject field knowledge and terminology.
