Advanced English is a fundamental key course for senior English majors aiming at training students＇ integrated skills,especially their reading,writing and translating. However,through searching the articles on the research into advanced English instruction in the last decade,it has been found out that there have been very few ones exploring the cultivation of translation thinking ability. Considering the current social demands and combining the author＇s experience of Advanced English teaching,this paper holds that advanced English instruction can train students＇ translation thinking and practical translation ability by getting students to translate some selected passages from the texts,to do translation exercises after the texts,and to put extracurricular training materials into English according to the needs for the local economic and social development,the requirements for students＇ job-hunting in the future as well as their interest,thus promoting students＇ translation competence while accomplishing the teaching tasks of the course.
