Abstract

The rapid development of educational AI has opened new prospect for foreign language teaching innovation. In the traditional English translation teaching, there are problems such as the unequal links between subjects and the inflexible teaching forms. This study discusses the application of educational AI in translation teaching from the standpoint of intersubjectivity. The study explores three dimensions:teaching models, teaching environments,and assessment systems,to build a tripartite interactive teaching mode between teachers, AI, and students, and improve the multi-stakeholder collaborative assessment mechanism. This study has practical possibilities for reconstructing subject relationships in English translation classrooms, prompting the positive transformation of the translation teaching ecosystem, and providing practical references for the innovative development of intelligent foreign language education.
