翻译课教学重在培养学生的翻译能力,然而传统的翻译教学模式难以激发学生强烈的翻译欲望,而探究教学有助于提高学生翻译兴趣和学习效果,并能够使其掌握终身受益的学习方法。针对新建本科英语专业学生学习现状,开展探究式课堂教学,培养学生探究学习能力,是新建本科英语专业课堂教学改革的理想选择。 Translation teaching focuses on cultivating students’ translation skills. However, the traditional translation teaching model can hardly stimulate students’ strong desire for translation. Inquiry teaching helps to improve students’ interest in translation and learning, and enables them to grasp the learning methods that will benefit them for life. It is an ideal choice for the new undergraduate English major in classroom teaching reform to address the current learning situation of newly-built undergraduate English majors, to develop inquiry-based classroom teaching and to develop students’ ability to explore and study.
