ABSTRACT

This paper focuses on the innovation of college English teaching model under the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) concept. It first introduces the core principles and significance of OBE, emphasizing its student-centered approach and focus on achieving clearly defined learning outcomes. The paper then critically examines the current state of college English teaching, identifying prevalent issues such as rigid curricula, limited student engagement, and insufficient alignment between teaching methods and real-world language application needs. Building on this analysis, the study proposes a series of innovative measures and strategies to reform the teaching model. These include the systematic design of teaching objectives that align with OBE principles, the restructuring of curriculum content to enhance relevance and practicality, the adoption of diverse and interactive teaching methods to foster active learning, and the establishment of a comprehensive assessment system that evaluates both linguistic proficiency and core competencies. Furthermore, the paper explores the potential challenges and future directions for college English teaching under the OBE concept, such as the need for teacher training, resource allocation, and continuous curriculum evaluation. By implementing these reforms, the study aims to elevate the quality and effectiveness of college English education, ultimately equipping students with robust English comprehensive application skills and the core competencies necessary for success in a globalized world.
