Abstract :
The 21st century has witnessed the widespread use of computer technology. A lot of universities have incorporate computers into foreign language teaching and learning. Researches have put more emphasis on the study of the feasibility and validity of computer-assisted foreign language learning (CALL). However, few have been involved into its role of teachers, still less the role of translation teachers. This paper focuses on elaborating the changing role of translation teachers in the context of CALL based on a comparative study.
