This paper focuses on the sci-tech translation course for Master of Translation and Interpreting (MTI), a key platform to cultivate professional sci-tech translators amid China’s technological progress and rising cross-cultural communication demands. Currently, the course is plagued by limited practical resources, insufficient situational teaching, and poor alignment with industrial requirements. Domestic science and education documentaries, with rich content, scientific rigor and communicative features, can well resolve such teaching bottlenecks. This study explores their multidimensional complementary value, constructs an innovative practical teaching model, and verifies its effectiveness. The results show that their integration achieves mutual promotion, optimizes sci-tech translation teaching, improves talent training quality, and provides a new path for the international dissemination of local science and education documentaries.
