Research on the Optimization Strategies of Higher Vocational English Stratification Teaching Mode Based on the Promotion of Students’ Professional Competence and Quality

Abstract

Under the background of diversified enrollment structure in higher vocational colleges, the traditional level-based English teaching system cannot meet the needs of language ability development and professional quality improvement. In the past two years, we have built a dynamic assessment system based on ITEST platform. Based on a survey of the English proficiency needs of students with different majors, we have reconstructed the overall design of college English curriculum from the following key aspects: the refinement of the graduates’ qualification standards, the reconstruction of the whole college English curriculum system, the refinement of the English teaching and mentoring modes for different level college students, the optimization and adjustment of the level-by-level assessment system, the reconstruction of the teaching and learning quality evaluation and diagnosis system etc. This paper sums up a set of learner centered strategies to optimize the reform of stratification English teaching mode by taking Qingdao Technical College as an example. The reform aims at the improvement of students’ professional ability and quality by optimizing the stratification teaching mode of English in higher vocational colleges. It helps students with different enrollment backgrounds achieve individuation development and comprehensive accomplishment not only in English language skills but also professional qualities.
