The internationalization development of the postgraduate course English Scientific and Technical Writing aims at facilitating the cultivation of globally competent scientific researchers. Grounded in the theory of curriculum internationalization, the course reform puts an emphasis on four key dimensions—learning objectives, content, pedagogy, and assessment—designed to enhance students’ global competence, intercultural communication skills, social responsibility, and lifelong learning capabilities. Drawing on frameworks by scholars such as Betty Leask and Margie Kitano, the course integrates global perspectives, interdisciplinary knowledge, and student-centered teaching methods. Empirical evidence collected through a comprehensive student survey indicates high satisfaction with teaching methods, content design, and learning outcomes. The course has demonstrated significant effectiveness in improving students’ academic writing skills within an international context and nurturing their intercultural and ethical awareness. Recommendations are proposed for future enhancement, including deeper cross-cultural engagement and refined feedback systems, to further align with global academic standards and professional demands.
