Abstract

Vocational college English education shoulders the dual mission of integrating linguistic skills with occupational competencies within the vocational education system. However, its current curriculum system exhibits structural contradictions, such as a disconnect between academic orientation and occupational demands, homogenized teaching strategies, and inadequate evaluation efficacy. Through empirical research and theoretical analysis, this study uncovers core issues, including ambiguous curriculum positioning, lagging integration of technology, and monolithic evaluation dimensions. It proposes innovative pathways, such as modular curriculum reconstruction based on occupational competency maps, the deep integration of blended teaching models with intelligent tools, and the establishment of multidimensional and dynamic evaluation mechanisms. The research emphasizes anchoring occupational scenarios as the focal point, achieving synergistic development of linguistic abilities and professional qualities through technological empowerment, and providing a practical framework for the transformation of vocational college English education from a "linguistic tool perspective" to an "occupational empowerment perspective."
