Analysis of the Needs of English-Chinese Translation Courses and Research on Teaching Strategies under the Background of Wireless Communication and Big Data

Abstract

The development of wireless communication technology and the widespread application of big data has accelerated the degree of globalization. Both English and Chinese are widely used languages internationally, and the cultural exchanges between the two occupy a very important proportion in the world. The society’s demand for English-Chinese translation talents has increased, and colleges and universities have also taken measures to improve students’ English-Chinese translation ability. This article analyzes the English-Chinese translation course under the environment of wireless communication and big data, discusses the influence of the development of wireless communication and big data on the teaching of English-Chinese translation, the problems existing in the teaching of English-Chinese translation in colleges and universities, and gives solutions to the existing problems. Finally, using the method of online survey to investigate the current situation of English-Chinese translation teaching in colleges and universities in the province, 245 valid questionnaires were recovered, only 87 of which indicated that their majors offered separate English translation courses, accounting for 35.51% of the total; 158 indicated their majors. There are no English translation courses, accounting for 64.49% of the total. Such a ratio does not match the overall demand for cultural exchanges in the context of the rapid development of wireless technology and big data. Therefore, the convenience brought by new technologies should be actively used to promote the development of the English-Chinese translation teaching system in colleges and universities.
