With the increasing deepening of international exchanges and the vigorous development of the digital economy, there has been a significant surge in societal demand for interdisciplinary foreign language talents. However, the practical training for foreign language majors in higher education institutions continues to face challenges, such as isolated teaching platforms and a disconnection from actual industry needs. Grounded in Learning Theory of Constructivism and the Technology Acceptance Model, this study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods. It involves 893 foreign language majors from East University of Heilongjiang as participants, with data collected through questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews. By integrating four digital platforms, including Vocabgo, Fif, Dejavu and Yixue Cross-border E-commerce Training System, it constructs a new four-dimensional interactive practical teaching model featuring “basic competence, specialized skills, translation literacy cultivation and professional application”. The findings demonstrate that this framework effectively consolidates students’ language foundation, enhances their oral expression, translation literacy, and professional application abilities, while also increasing teaching and learning satisfaction among both instructors and students. Consequently, it offers an actionable pathway to address existing structural issues in practical teaching and to cultivate applied foreign language talents that meet contemporary societal needs.
