ABSTRACT
The current wave of globalization and internationalization is in full swing. Every country has frequent exchanges, whether at the economic, academic or cultural level. However, in the process of communication, the language of each country is different, which brings certain obstacles to communications and interactions. Therefore, as English is the most widely used international ‘lingua franca’ in the world, its importance is self-evident. For communication, learning oral English is crucial. As Higher Vocational Colleges, with the core goal of cultivating professional, applied talents, the end goal of oral English teaching is to provide society and enterprises, with professional English-speaking talents, and to provide services in spoken English. Hence, the quality of oral English teaching in higher vocational colleges is linked to the cultivation of relevant professional talents, and it is worth investing a lot of teaching resources. This paper analyzes the current problems of oral English teaching in vocational colleges, and from the perspective of phonetics, attempts to provide some strategies and measures to improve oral English teaching standards in vocational colleges.
