REFORM AND PRACTICE OF ENGLISH PHONETICS TEACHING IN HIGHER VOCATIONAL COLLEGES BASED ON OBE

Abstract

As an indispensable part of English teaching, phonetics teaching can not only enrich students' phonetic knowledge and improve their phonetic level but also facilitate the cultivation and improvement of English listening and speaking ability. While teachers in colleges in China mainly focus on students’ vocabulary, grammar, and reading but ignore English phonetic teaching, resulting in students' poor expression ability and communication abilities. For a long time, although its teaching content and teaching methods have been improved with the emergence of various teaching theories, most teachers have always failed to break the traditional teaching mode and build a new teaching system. In recent years, applying the theory of Outcome-based Education to various subjects has changed traditional teaching methods to improve student learning achievement at home and abroad. This paper is to point out the necessity and urgency of the reform of English phonetics teaching in higher vocational colleges through the analysis of the current situation of English phonetics teaching in higher vocational colleges and discuss how to adopt the teaching design from top-down design under the guidance of achievement-oriented education concept and explore the suitable reform and practice of OBE teaching model for English phonetics teaching in higher vocational colleges in China. The English phonetic teaching method, based on the theory of Outcome-based Education, is worth popularising and helps teachers to innovate teaching methods and students to improve learning achievement constantly.
