ABSTRACT

With the integration of the global economy and the increasing demand for high-skilled talent in the labor market, traditional English teaching models in higher education are facing significant challenges. To enhance students' practical English application skills, English teaching in higher education needs to shift from a focus on isolated language skills training to the cultivation of comprehensive professional skills, better aligning with the development trends of contemporary society and the economy. This paper analyzes the current issues in college English teaching at universities, including unclear teaching objectives, homogenized content, outdated teaching methods, and insufficient teaching staff. It proposes strategies such as establishing professional course teaching objectives, selecting appropriate teaching content, employing diverse teaching methods, and strengthening the dual-teacher model in faculty development to enhance the relevance and effectiveness of college English teaching, paving the way for students' career skill enhancement and professional development.
