This study aims to explore the influence mechanism and enhancement pathways of Master of Translation and Interpreting (MTI) teachers' assessment literacy on teaching effectiveness. Through theoretical analysis and practical investigation, it is found that assessment literacy, as a crucial component of MTI teachers' professional competence, directly impacts teaching quality, student learning outcomes, and the achievement of talent cultivation objectives. The research indicates that a high level of assessment literacy facilitates the precise alignment of teaching objectives, strengthens the function of feedback and adjustment, implements the student-centered educational philosophy, and promotes the deep integration of digital and intelligent technologies. However, current challenges include weak awareness of assessment literacy among MTI teachers, a lack of specialized training, and a disconnect between theory and practice. To address these issues, this paper proposes systematic enhancement strategies from three levels: individual teachers, institutional systems, and policy support, thereby providing references for improving MTI teaching effectiveness and cultivating high-quality translation professionals.
