ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the application and effect of multi-modal learning in improving English education in higher vocational colleges. The paper first emphasizes the importance of English in higher vocational education and points out that improving English language ability is the key. Then, three main teaching methods, speech recognition training method, situation simulation method and language output driven method, are discussed in detail. In the speech recognition training method, this paper puts forward some methods to improve speech fluency and enhance speech confidence, such as imitation practice, oral dialogue practice and the use of modern information technology. The part of situational simulation focuses on stimulating the ability of situational association and cultivating the application of pragmatic knowledge, and proposes to design simulated situations close to life and make use of multimedia teaching resources. The output-driven rule emphasizes the internalization of grammar knowledge and vocabulary accumulation through actual language use, and encourages students to participate in output tasks and group interactions. This paper further discusses the effect of these methods on improving students' comprehensive ability of listening, speaking, reading and writing, and points out the challenges in the implementation process, such as the effectiveness of teaching forms and the evaluation of teaching effects. At last, the paper looks forward to the potential of multi-disciplinary integration in future teaching, and concludes that multi-mode learning can effectively improve students' language ability and comprehensive communication skills. This paper provides practical guidance for English educators on multimodal learning methods and shows its application value in higher vocational English education.
