Action Research on English Demand in Vocational Undergraduate Education

Vocational undergraduate education is a new field for cultivating high-level and highly skilled vocational and technical talents. The integration of professional and vocational aspects is an important approach to cultivating "high-end" talents in vocational undergraduate education. However, there are problems in the actual teaching of vocational undergraduate colleges. Taking English teaching as an example, the existing textbooks, talent cultivation plans, and classroom teaching management models cannot meet the English learning needs of students or the demands of society for the English discipline in vocational education. As a result, most students are disconnected from classroom teaching, or they are not interested in English learning, and even give up learning English. In response to this practical problem, the author collected relevant data on English needs in the only vocational undergraduate university in Hainan Province and explored the reform path of English courses in vocational undergraduate colleges from three aspects: students' own needs, social needs, and teaching management.

Abstract

Vocational undergraduate education is a new field for cultivating high-level and highly skilled vocational and technical talents. The integration of professional and vocational aspects is an important approach to cultivating "high-end" talents in vocational undergraduate education. However, there are problems in the actual teaching of vocational undergraduate colleges. Taking English teaching as an example, the existing textbooks, talent cultivation plans, and classroom teaching management models cannot meet the English learning needs of students or the demands of society for the English discipline in vocational education. As a result, most students are disconnected from classroom teaching, or they are not interested in English learning, and even give up learning English. In response to this practical problem, the author collected relevant data on English needs in the only vocational undergraduate university in Hainan Province and explored the reform path of English courses in vocational undergraduate colleges from three aspects: students' own needs, social needs, and teaching management.
