Abstract

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has significantly boosted the demand for interdisciplinary translation and interpretation talent in China’s central and western regions. Despite the growing number of universities qualified to offer the Bachelor of Translation and Interpretation (BTI) degree in these areas, the development of high-quality translation education at the undergraduate level faces several challenges. These include outdated teaching methodologies, a shortage of experienced faculty, and a misalignment between course content and local economic needs. This study examines the successful integration of translation teaching and professionalism at Western Sydney University in Australia. By analyzing their teaching model, this research proposes a novel approach for BTI education in China’s central and western regions, focusing on curriculum content, pedagogical strategies, and faculty development. The goal is to enhance BTI education quality, enabling these regions to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the BRI for rapid and high-quality development.
