ABSTRACT

Courses are the core of higher education. Higher education attaches great importance to the effective integration of knowledge impartment, quality cultivation, and value orientation in various courses. As an important basic course, the College English Translation Module Course has a particularly prominent connection with cultural connotations and values. Taking the College English Translation Module Course of South China Agricultural University as an example, this paper aims to enhance students' translation competence and comprehensive quality, and achieve the goal of holistic education. It explores the teaching practice of College English Translation from two aspects: "exploring the cultural connotations and values in the specific textbook of A Practical Translation Course for College English" and "cultivating students’ rational application of translation skills and methods", and finally puts forward reform measures to improve the teaching effects. Through teaching practice and exploration, this paper comes to the conclusion that the translation module course not only enhances students' translation competence but also improves their cultural literacy, sense of social responsibility, and international perspective, helping them establish positive values, thus achieving the comprehensive educational goal of holistic education.
