Research on Innovative Pathways for Cultivating Postgraduate Students' Oral Communication Skills Oriented to Emerging Engineering Disciplines

This article addresses issues in current graduate oral English teaching, such as rigid course structures, insufficient motivation, and a lack of diverse evaluation standards. Grounded in the "New Liberal Arts" concept and following the new "Enlighten-Present-Transform-Integrate" model, it progressively guides students from imitation and repetition to spontaneous expression through professional and contextualized activities. This aims to enhance their expressive ability and logical thinking in technical topics. the teaching design includes various scenarios, such as engineering conversations, academic presentations, and debates, combined with effective teacher intervention and peer support, to foster students' cross-cultural communication awareness and innovative capabilities. the emphasis is placed on a diversified evaluation system that focuses on both process and application, encouraging students to transition from lower-level language proficiency to higher-order thinking and professional expression. This approach provides strong support for the development of new engineering talents with international perspectives and innovative practical abilities.
