Abstract

With the advent of the 21st-century digital era, multimodal information dissemination has increasingly become the predominant mode of communication. Multimodal translation plays an increasingly critical role in cross-cultural information transmission. However, the current pedagogical domain in translation primarily focuses on the cultivation of linguistic translation skills, with less attention to the training of students' multimodal translation competencies. To date, there are no teaching materials specifically designed for multimodal translation. In light of the significance of multimodal translation, this paper explores the compilation issues of multimodal translation teaching materials within the context of the new media era, aiming to guide and inspire the development of such resources.
