Background:

• Higher education institutions seek innovative teaching methods to boost student engagement and interaction.
• The rise of online platforms and computer-aided instruction has transformed translation teaching.
• The flipped classroom (FC) model is an emerging pedagogical trend in higher education.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review the impact of the flipped classroom model on student engagement in translation classes.
• To explore the effects of the flipped classroom on teacher-student interaction within translation education.
• To provide implications and suggestions for language teaching stakeholders in translation research.

Main Methods:

• Systematic literature review of studies on flipped classrooms in translation education.
• Analysis of research focusing on student engagement metrics.
• Examination of studies investigating teacher-student interaction patterns.

Main Results:

• Flipped classroom approaches positively influence student engagement in translation learning.
• The FC model can foster increased and more meaningful teacher-student interactions.
• Varied implementation strategies exist, with potential for adaptation across different contexts.

Conclusions:

• The flipped classroom is a promising pedagogical strategy for enhancing translation education.
• Further research should explore optimal FC implementation for diverse learner groups and translation specializations.
• Educators can benefit from insights into leveraging FC for improved engagement and interaction in language teaching.
