ABSTRACT

By leveraging their own featured specialties to facilitate the training of Master of Translation and Interpreting (MTI) program, industrial-oriented colleges and universities can seize the golden opportunity brought by the "new liberal arts" initiative to cultivate interdisciplinary language service talents tailored to the market needs. Through a status quo analysis, this study attempts to examine multiple aspects concerning the training models of MTI program in industry colleges and universities, including educational objectives, curriculum setting, faculty allocation, and practical training, in an effort to discover a unique path of training compound MTI professionals. Given the shared challenges faced by such institutions, it is suggested to further create a favorable interdisciplinary learning environment, improve the whole process of talent training, and boost the employability of students in future.
