In recent years, research on the influencing factors of students’ English learning has found that students’ psychological factors are the core factor affecting their learning effectiveness. The innovation of English translation teaching mode in the context of “Internet plus” is of great significance to promote the improvement of English translation teaching quality, which can enhance students’ learning enthusiasm, effectively alleviate students’ learning fear and escape symptoms.

We selected 120 students from a certain university who have phobia and avoidance symptoms towards English learning as the research subjects. They were divided into an experimental group and a control group. During the research period, the experimental group used the established English translation teaching mode for teaching, while the control group used the traditional teaching mode. The mental health status of two groups of students is analyzed after the three-month experimental period.

The study used Excel 2010 and SPSS 23.0 to organize and analyze the data. The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in 12 dimensions such as somatization and anxiety (P>0.05). After intervention, the scores of all dimensions in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).

From this, it can be seen that after the innovative reform of the English translation teaching model, the experimental group’s CCSMHS scores in all dimensions have significantly decreased. This innovative approach can effectively improve students’ mental health status.
