Abstract

In today's highly competitive employment environment, higher vocational English teaching is facing new challenges and opportunities. The traditional teaching objectives have been difficult to meet the needs of students' future career development, so the teaching reform based on the cultivation of professional abilities is imperative (Smith, 2018). Taking media-related majors as an example, this paper deeply explores the teaching reform strategies of higher vocational English based on the cultivation of professional abilities from five aspects: teaching objectives, curriculum setting, teaching methods, teaching evaluation, and the construction of the teaching staff, aiming to improve the quality of higher vocational English teaching and cultivate professional talents who can adapt to social needs.
