The cultivation of foreign language talent currently faces a paradoxical situation: a scarcity of highly skilled professionals coexists with an oversupply of individuals with limited proficiency. In light of external skepticism regarding the value of foreign language education, this paper explores pathways for the development of English majors—particularly translation specialists—in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). Comprehensive English, a core course for translation majors, aims to develop students’ five core language skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation, thereby laying a solid foundation for advanced professional study. This teaching reform experiment considers how to align classroom instruction with national development strategies, facilitating a harmonious integration of smart and traditional teaching. The instructional focus extends beyond vocabulary and grammar to incorporate cultural underpinnings, methodological awareness, conceptual depth, and affective dimensions—prioritizing national identity within a global vision to build a knowledgeable and empathetic learning environment.
