Modern Social Science Research

The Master of Translation and Interpreting (MTI) degree is a professional degree designed to cultivate high-level, application-oriented senior translators to meet the needs of Sino-foreign exchanges. Under the background of the new liberal arts education, with the deepening of regional economic transformation and upgrading and the Belt and Road Initiative, the demand for translation talents is showing characteristics of specialization, technicalization, and localization. However, existing domestic and international research mostly focuses on the needs of single universities or single industries in developed countries and southeastern China for MTI education, failing to fully consider the characteristics of Inner Mongolia's industries and its northward opening-up strategy, and lacking systematic research on the synergistic development of MTI education and regional characteristic industries. With the accelerated construction of the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor, the demand for high-quality, multi-skilled translators in Inner Mongolia is becoming increasingly urgent. This study, based on the background of the new liberal arts education and focusing on the dual needs of interdisciplinary integration and local economic and social development, uses questionnaires, field research, and in-depth interviews to systematically explore the current situation, root causes, and optimization paths of the synergistic development of MTI education and regional industries in Inner Mongolia. This research not only provides practical guidance for the reform of MTI education and the coordinated development of regional industries in Inner Mongolia, but also helps to improve the quality of translation talent training and provides support for Inner Mongolia to promote its opening up to the north and accelerate industrial upgrading.
