Abstract

Cross-border collaborative learning creates a place for students to learn without the restrictions of distance and culture; working together, they can cultivate cross-cultural awareness and translation skills to help promote the further development of this kind of study. At present, the cultivation activities for these students are still scattered in terms of cognitive content, lack deep connections with real life, have scattered platform resources, and are deficient in teacher literacy; therefore, the effect of combined education is limited. Given the actual situation of cross-border collaborative learning, this paper explores the need and current problems of integrating the development of cross-cultural cognition and translation competence, and then puts forward some practical suggestions to strengthen the systematic construction of teaching content, deepen the integration of training with context, optimize platform resource integration, and enhance teacher literacy to provide a reference for improving cross-border collaborative learning practice.
