Study on Restructuring the Content of College English Course in Vocational University Based on Occupational Demands

Abstract

Based on the demand for complex English talents for the high-quality construction of “Belt and Road,” the study proposes a curriculum restructuring program oriented on “serving professional teaching, career development, and quality development” in response to the real problems of the current university English curriculum, such as focusing on language but not on application, insufficient vocational relevance, and low degree of integration with the professional field. We propose a curriculum reconstruction plan oriented to “serve professional teaching, career development, and quality development.” We have constructed a three-in-one curriculum goal of “laying a foundation for professionalism, infiltrating humanity, and empowering development,” systematically designed a curriculum content system of “language foundation, industry knowledge, and quality development,” and established an AI-enabled multi-intelligence evaluation system. This will promote the transformation of university English from single-language teaching to a service-oriented curriculum that supports professional development, and cultivate internationalized talents with both workplace language application skills and cross-cultural communication literacy. The study highlights the “vocational” characteristics and “service” functions of college English, and provides an actionable, practical path for the reform of college English curriculum in vocational undergraduate colleges.
