Abstract

The rapid advancement of generative AI technologies is reshaping the translation industry ecosystem, exerting a disruptive influence on translation pedagogy in university English programs. This paper explores the professional challenges and transformative imperatives faced by teachers in translation teaching within this context. Research indicates that teachers must evolve from traditional knowledge authorities into multifaceted roles: learning designers, technology collaborators, ethical reasoning facilitators, and lifelong learners. Further, the article proposes professional development pathways for achieving this role transformation at the level of teachers' intrinsic motivation. This aims to provide reference for translation teaching reform under the new liberal arts initiative.
