Exploring Practical Teaching Strategies in Higher Vocational English Education

With the progression of globalization and vocational education, English teaching in higher vocational colleges faces new challenges and opportunities. Practical teaching strategies are increasingly emphasized in higher vocational English education, aiming to enhance students’ English application skills and professional qualities through real-life scenarios and task-oriented learning. This paper discusses the practical teaching strategies in higher vocational English education, from theoretical foundations and current status analysis to specific strategy design and application, systematically analyzing the concept, core elements, and effects of practical teaching. Research shows that practical teaching strategies effectively improve students’ English application abilities and learning motivation, yet challenges remain in implementation. Future efforts should focus on optimizing teaching strategies and refining assessment mechanisms to promote the sustainable development of higher vocational English education.
