With the rapid development of mobile internet technology, mobile learning has emerged as a mainstream learning method for the new generation of students. Based on the “Fishpond Theory,” this paper proposes a blended learning model for vocational English education, utilizing the WeChat platform on smartphones. The objective is to integrate the benefits of traditional classroom teaching with mobile learning to enhance students’ autonomous learning abilities and improve their English learning outcomes. This paper reviews relevant theories and literature, explaining the basic concepts of Fishpond Theory, Mobile-Assisted Language Learning, and blended learning. It further designs a three-stage teaching model construction path, encompassing front-end analysis, activity and resource design, and teaching model evaluation, tailored to the characteristics of vocational English education. Through the WeChat platform’s resource distribution, personalized learning support, and online-offline interactive feedback, teachers can effectively guide students toward autonomous and in-depth learning. The findings indicate that this model significantly increases student motivation and engagement. However, in practice, it is crucial to strengthen the cultivation of students’ learning habits and the guidance and supervision provided by teachers.
