Abstract

This study explores the pedagogical integration of Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) and corpus tools in a legal translation course at a Chinese university, using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework as a guiding model. The research addresses two questions: (1) What are the measurable impacts of integrating CAT and corpus tools on students’ translation competence, technological fluency, and collaborative performance under the TPACK framework? (2) What are students’ perceptions of the affordances and challenges associated with CAT and corpus tools in legal translation learning? A mixed-methods approach was adopted. Quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-course questionnaires (N=38) covering six TPACK-informed dimensions. Paired-sample t-tests revealed statistically significant improvements across all areas, particularly in translation accuracy, technologies operation skills, and collaborative performance. These improvements underscore the combination of content knowledge, technological fluency, and pedagogical design promoted by the TPACK framework..
