ABSTRACT

With the deepening of globalization, cultivating inter-disciplinary talents with excellent vocational English communication skills has become an urgent demand of the times. However, there is a prevalent issue of "ecological imbalance" in current vocational English teaching practice in China, which is disconnected from real vocational scenarios. To address this dilemma, this paper introduces the Eco-translatology theory proposed by Professor Hu Gengshen as a new research perspective. This theory regards language activities as a dynamic process in which the translator adapts to a specific ecological environment and makes choices, and its "three-dimensional transformation" methodology provides profound insights for the reform of vocational English teaching. This paper first explains the core essence of Eco-translatology, and then conducts an in-depth analysis of the "ecological imbalance" problem existing in current teaching. On this basis, the paper will focus on constructing a vocational English teaching model with "three-dimensional transformation" as the core and typical work tasks as the carrier, aiming to provide useful theoretical reference and practical guidance for improving the effectiveness of vocational English teaching and cultivating international talents that meet the needs of the times.
