ABSTRACT

With the rapid development of AI technology and the rapid growth of the global cross-border e-commerce industry, the traditional foreign language professionals cultivation model is facing severe challenges. In this context, this paper investigates the cultivation pathway for intelligent language service professionals serving the cross-border e-commerce industry, and proposes a new professional cultivation paradigm that is grounded in linguistic competence, enhanced by industry-specific knowledge, and augmented by intelligent technologies. This  aims to provide a reference for the transformation and upgrading of foreign language programmes in higher vocational colleges, enabling them to cultivate versatile and applied intelligent language service professionals to meet the needs of the digital economy era.
