Application of PBL Combined with Case Method in the Business Translation Course

Abstract

The case method in business translation possesses unique educational characteristics in cultivating students' independent thinking and application of English proficiency. However, current business translation education in China faces the challenges of constructing timely and comprehensive case database for education purposes. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of integrating the case method with the Project-Based Learning (PBL) model in business translation education. Through the detailed analysis using the case of “the Boom in Generative Artificial Intelligence” in business translation, this study demonstrates that applying the case method based on the PBL model can effectively address the issues of timeliness and the development of case database in business translation courses.
