Abstract

This article explores the implementation path of the “1+X” certificate system in vocational college English teaching, specifically how to integrate VETS (Vocational English Test System) level examination teaching with daily teaching. The article analyzes the current situation and dilemmas of course-certificate integration teaching, including the separation of teaching content, the lack of practical ability among teachers and the absence of a unified teaching plan. Subsequently, it proposes the characteristics and design ideas of course-certificate integration teaching, emphasizing the role of the course in cultivating compound talents. A specific case demonstrates how to integrate “Advanced International English for Vocational Colleges” with the VETS primary tutorial to enhance students’ language skills, vocational skills and international perspective and shape the correct professional concepts.
