Abstract

According to the characteristics of higher vocational colleges and their students, this paper believes that it is imperative to develop a set of colloquial English teaching lectures that are complementary to the textbooks. In the process of designing college English lectures, not only the vocational students’ demand for the English level test should be considered, the background of new era in which English is widely used in the later-on career should also be considered, integrating the content of basic knowledge of English language and practical skills into the classroom. Higher vocational colleges should integrate spoken language, test vocabulary and practical skills of English language using throughout the entire process of college English teaching. Aiming at the design of college English lectures in vocational colleges and universities, this article proposes three important principles, namely the principle of combining spoken language with test-taking vocabulary, focusing on the combination of graphics and text in word compilation and the principle of combining classroom English teaching with practical usage in different working conditions. The students in higher vocational colleges are different from the students in general colleges and universities, so the design of college English lectures should not only take into account the spoken language level at the time of employment, but also consider the passing rate of the English grade certificate, and pay more attention to the thoughts of practicality, so as to promote the construction of a new “student-centered” classroom teaching model and enable students to both have English-speaking skills to meet the needs of employment and have a heart to contribute to society.
