Abstract

Traditional evaluation in English translation training often misses learners' expressive ability, and existing incentives lack fine granularity. This paper proposes a dynamic teaching framework based on proximal policy optimization. Multi-round learner submissions form temporal state sequences from syntactic and semantic features. A composite reward combines BERTScore-based semantic alignment with n-gram diversity to guide policy learning, while step-size constraints ensure stable proximal policy optimization convergence. The action space spans vocabulary replacement, word-order adjustment, and sentence reconstruction. The optimized policy generates proficiency-aware, personalized feedback that fosters expressive development. Experiments show gains in accuracy and expressive richness (Word Error Rate 0.9%, Semantic Mismatch Rate 2.2%, Textual Lexical Diversity 0.782–0.813, Syntactic Variation Degree 2.41–2.56), surpassing conventional grading and incentive schemes. This paper offers a practical pathway to embed reinforcement learning in translation pedagogy and refine incentive mechanisms at fine granularity.
