The English translation of the Chinese government Work Report every year is of great international significance and function. It provides other governments and the public with access to key information about China’s policy direction, governance measures, and social progress. It is also an important means for China to showcase its national image, promote economic development and strengthen its global partnerships. This paper attempts to interpret and analyze the English version of the government work report from the perspective of Eco-translatology, and sort out the translation strategies of a large number of words with Chinese characteristics so as to provide new ideas and perspectives for the translation and dissemination of Chinese excellent culture.

Mental health education is an integral component of ideological and political education, serving as a cornerstone in promoting campus harmony and stability. From the discontinuity and balance theory perspective, the agenda setting is closely intertwined with pertinent psychological policies, implementation strategies, and pathways for psychological growth. By attending to the psychological growth issues and information of college students sequentially, ideological and political workers collaborate with psychology experts, we-media platforms, as well as relevant psychological organizations and associations to collectively influence policy-making processes while promoting policy development changes and enhancing the effectiveness of policy implementation. Empirical research findings systematically demonstrate that the mental growth status of college students exhibits positive correlations with variables such as their emotional difficulties, carriers for disseminating psychological work propaganda, peer counselors’ working modes, ripple effects from network hot events, and learning outcomes from online courses. This paper explores practical endeavours and innovative attempts towards constructing an atmosphere conducive to mental health education, promoting equilibrium within psychological educational policies, and enhancing educational outcomes for college students.

A shift from a focus on the learner as an autonomous agent to one that places greater emphasis on the learner’s relationship with their learning environment is a hallmark of learner autonomy. Learning settings are complex, with many aspects influencing outcomes; metaphors like ecology shed light on this. Ecological perspectives highlight the importance of students negotiating their environment through purposeful behaviours within interrelated contexts. Awareness, flexibility, and goal-setting are the three main tenets of pedagogy for autonomy. This perspective tackles societal influences head-on, highlighting the need of welcoming spaces and being creative to boost independence. In general, the ecological viewpoint deepens comprehension by drawing attention to the ever-changing relationships between students and their classroom settings.

This paper makes an emotional analysis of readers’ comments on the English version of Life by Lu Yao on Amazon. The research shows that western readers generally have a high degree of acceptance of the unique regional culture of China conveyed in the English version of Life, but they hold negative criticism on the translation of some words. The main reason for readers’ criticism is that the translation does not faithfully convey the original information. Examining the translation and dissemination effects of foreign-translated works from the perspective of readers’ comments is helpful to accurately find out the translation problems existing in foreign-translated literary works and provide reference for the translation and dissemination of literary works in the future.

In China, the evolution from traditional “College English” courses to English for Specific Purpose (ESP) reflects the changing demands for foreign language skills in specialized industries. This transition poses challenges for teachers due to limited specialized knowledge. This study explores the integration of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) into ESP courses through collaboration between language and content-area teachers. Drawing on a literature review and qualitative research at West Yunnan University of Applied Science, the study examines the challenges traditional English General Purpose (EGP) teachers face in ESP classrooms and their willingness to collaborate with content-area teachers. Results reveal teachers’ struggles with specialized knowledge and materials selection, alongside their openness to collaboration. The discussion emphasizes the importance of fostering cooperation, establishing teaching communities, and utilizing online platforms for enhanced student learning outcomes. This research contributes to the advancement of ESP teaching methodologies by advocating for collaborative approaches that integrate language and content effectively.

The author collects data from an online peer review platform (Peerceptive), where 25 junior English majors in Wenzhou Medical university were asked to exchange peer reviews of first drafts of 2 translation assignments and then make modifications on their own translation works based on peer reviews they received. The author analyzes the acceptance rate of peer reviews of 12 students, who are divided into 3 groups, good, average and weak based on their academic performance in their previous semester. The author also compares the test performance of the 12 students at the beginning of the semester and at the end of the semester. Finally, the author hands out questionnaires to collect students’ perceptions and attitudes towards online peer review in C-E translation. Based on a comprehensive and statistic analysis of the data collected from the 2 assignments, 1 test and 1 questionnaire, the author draws a conclusion that online peer review is beneficial for English major students in C-E translation.

This study reviewed the empirical research on the role of input enhancement on foreign language vocabulary acquisition published in core journals from 2009 to 2023, from which the current status and future trends of the studies were analyzed. The results manifested that (1) the number of input enhancement research demonstrated a trend of a spiral upward development; (2) the studies used different types of input enhancement as independent variable to explore their effects on the acquisition of target vocabulary; (3) the research materials applied in input enhancement were mostly in the reading mode, while lacked investigation in the listening mode. Therefore, future research could further examine the interactive and comparative effects of input enhancement on vocabulary acquisition as well as enhancing vocabulary in the materials with a variety of modes.

China Studies Program (CSP) is a high-calibre international exchange program launched by the Center for Language Education and Cooperation since 2013, which aims to attract overseas students, scholars, and elites from all walks of life to come to study in China through providing scholarships and high-quality training resources. The research site of this study was at a Chinese university in Beijing. Using the Community Cultural Wealth theory (Yosso, 2005), this study examined the sociocultural adaptation mechanism for international doctoral students of the CSP in China, especially how the students themselves, their families, and staff members of the host university help the international doctoral students to navigate their sociocultural adaptation by providing community cultural resources, which helped international students achieve academic success through accumulating aspirational capital, linguistic capital, social capital, familial capital, navigational capital and resistant capital (Yosso, 2005). Findings of this study suggest that the sociocultural adaptation of the international students of CSP was much facilitated by the host community cultural wealth which provided ample opportunities for the international students to acquire and mobilize their various capitals.

The detective novels, in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, carried a big weight in Chinese literary works, with the characteristics of mass audience, large quantity and deep influence. Since detective novels were originally imported and translated into Chinese by translator, their translation has attracted the attention of a large of scholars. Base on the polysystem theory proposed by Itamar Even-Zohar, an Israeli literary theorist, this paper will analyze the reason for the rise and the increasing popularity of translated detective novel in that period.
