A Case-Based Teaching Module for Red Tourism Culture Translation under the CATTI Competence Framework

Abstract

CATTI has set up a competence framework which serves as an important reference to translator education. Based on the competence framework of CATTI and red tourism cultural resources of Heilongjiang Province, the paper adopts a case-based teaching method to design a teaching module of red tourism culture translation characterized by the “competence-oriented, case-driven, and practice-enhanced” framework. In line with the OBE principle, this module sets up learning objectives according to the CATTI translator competence requirements, and implements teaching via case-based teaching method and e-portfolio evaluation. These translation cases can provide authentic context in translation training, which is favorable for the combination of CATTI competence requirements and translation teaching. It will be beneficial to improve students’ professional competence and provide implications for curriculum reform.
