This paper aims to explore innovative strategies for teaching models in higher vocational English education under the background of artificial intelligence, especially in the context of the current global educational technology transformation. The study focuses on how to effectively integrate artificial intelligence technology to enhance the quality of higher vocational English teaching. The research methods primarily include literature analysis and theoretical discussion. By reviewing domestic and international related research findings, the paper provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of the application status of artificial intelligence in higher vocational English teaching, existing problems, and solutions. During the research process, the development of artificial intelligence technology and its application in the educational field are first outlined. Subsequently, the paper focuses on analyzing specific strategies for the application of artificial intelligence in higher vocational English teaching, including personalized teaching, smart classrooms, and blended teaching models. The study finds that artificial intelligence technology can significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of higher vocational English teaching. However, in practical applications, it still faces challenges such as insufficient technical capabilities of teachers and uneven resource distribution. Based on this, the paper proposes solutions to these problems, including strengthening teacher training, improving technical infrastructure, and promoting educational resource sharing. Ultimately, the paper concludes that with the continuous development and improvement of artificial intelligence technology, innovative teaching models in higher vocational English education are expected to achieve a higher level of personalization, intelligence, and informatization, providing students with more high-quality educational resources and learning experiences.
