Keywords: Higher, English Teaching, problems, strategies, new system

China's Vocational Education and undergraduate Education from the initial "hard tack" or Vocational Education "baking bread," and gradually developed into an Education with Chinese characteristics, type. Public vocational English as one of the most important basic course, students shoulder the important task of English language proficiency to meet the foreign-related social communication skills for various types of personnel required increasing with higher Vocational Education by leaps and bounds by leaps and bounds compared to the , the development of vocational English Teaching is a bit behind, but also behind the foundation of public Education and undergraduate Education, English Teaching reform of vocational English teaching some of the problems that exist now, weakening the teaching of their service functions, has been reform must be to the point.

Vocational English teaching Problems
English teaching objectives dislocation, failed to fully reflect the characteristics of Vocational Education and vocational training of production, construction, management and service work in the first line of Application-oriented talents, vocational English Teaching students in the future work should be in the process of communicative competence. At present, high English Course staff is seen as an isolated basic course, most schools operate only common basic English, and professional students and future jobs lack of close contact with government departments of English as the common evaluation of English teaching quality standards and the level of assessment in training and further strengthened. vocational English, the actual target of public Vocational Education and the overall objective of dislocation, vocational occupational characteristics not fully reflect the employment-oriented training objectives can not appear.

Too much emphasis on basic, failed to consider the employment needs of students affected by the ESP theory, the existing public vocational English syllabus to English Teaching basic English and English into two stages of the basic grammar of English in high school have been completion, the entire vocational stage of learning English all on "laying the foundation", obviously a great degree of waste from the University of Hong Kong, Macao and some overseas experience and foreign language courses are for professional learning services directly, rarely pure "laying the foundation" of foreign language courses. In fact, ESP and EGP of linguistic expressions, and there is no difference, the difference reflected in the different needs of learners, teaching goals are different, resulting in different learning content and learning methods, therefore, should be According to vocational students to work directly for the front-line employment needs and begin to learn the English language and professional-related.

Application is not strong, students can not communicate in English at present, the traditional teaching concepts and practical teaching conditions, on the one hand, the majority of public vocational institutions English language teaching to focus on reading instruction in order to explain the linguistic knowledge for the content of the examination as the goal, students may be through a variety of tests, but can not communicate in English, learning rather than using the other hand, students learn the basic content of the lack of direct correlation with the future work, there is a language even a small amount of talent students through their own efforts to have some communication skills in English, go to work, can use English in daily communication, but not in English a good job in the communication task, learning without Zhiyong.

Tendency to serious examination, it is difficult to develop a comprehensive English language ability of students in the management level, the College English Test as the official background, and the comparability between different institutions, the leadership of various vocational schools regarded the examination as a public school testing the quality of English teaching methods, examination and then too one-sided emphasis on class rates, making the country a serious tendency of English-oriented Education in the teaching level, on the one hand, and students forced the leadership of the pressure that is linked to English certificates and diplomas, had to be oriented education, on the other hand, lack of awareness of vocational attributes, do not know how to cultivate students' comprehensive ability, can only follow the traditional teaching methods, the basic language to explain the knowledge-based, other than the ability to read the training is very weak, do not involve language competence, cross-cultural communication skills, self-learning capability.

English Teaching Higher response
(A key topic
Occupational vocational public to follow the direction of reform of English teaching "service for the purpose of employment-oriented" policy of the school, vocational high goals for the training of skilled personnel, school-enterprise cooperation as a way to school, to work and study as a training model, function located in the service area, industry economic and social development, culture objects have the characteristics of the image-based thinking, therefore, as an important foundation courses in public vocational English, must get rid of undergraduate public structure of subject knowledge of English, the occupational As the direction of reform, the eventual establishment of the working process of the curriculum based on the new curriculum does not necessarily reflect the language of scientific systems of knowledge, but must reflect the job requirements and career development needs.

Practicality is the Vocational English Teaching English is the way to achieve a practical course to learn English is to practice after the communication, and interpersonal skills also must practice in order to truly master. Vocational English courses in the content of public selection and organization are also closely associated with the practice. Vocational English Course for the practical performance of the three levels: first, to the daily teaching from knowledge of the language to explain the main changes in language skills, followed by the course content should reflect the future of jobs and career development, once again, to gradually create the conditions for transfer to the English classroom training room, workshop, the English language and work together to achieve common English language teaching "combination."
Comprehensive ability is vocational English Teaching in the target employment-oriented vocational education should also be people-oriented, promote the comprehensive development, both to meet social development needs, but also to meet the individual needs of the development, therefore, a comprehensive development of professional people should have expertise, methods and social capacity in three areas now, the goal of vocational English Teaching basic limited range of professional competence, should work on this basis, the process of improving the Application ability, and adding a certain ability to learn and cross-cultural communication capacity. In other words, vocational English Teaching new goal is to train students in English, ability to work, further study of the English language and English, ability to communicate with others, in short, is to develop a comprehensive ability.

English public vocational assessment system should be able to meet the above requirements for teaching evaluation of teaching itself has a very strong backwash effect, vocational English Teaching major existing problems can be effectively addressed, to a certain extent, depend on establish a scientific evaluation system in the macro level, should be gradually integrated and comprehensive current English Test, English test a variety of industries and international certification exam, to establish a system of vocational English Certificate system. The certificate system should be able to reflect the work requirements and career development needs, and emphasize the Application of an integrated capability for the content of the examination at the micro level of school education should be formative assessment, supplemented by summative assessment, and gradually transition to the authenticity of the assessment.

(Two basic ideas
English education is a succession of public vocational education in general English, English teaching reform in public during the vocational, the general theory of English education and experience are mature should be inherited in a practical level, vocational English Teaching from the 90s of last century gradually explore their vocational English language teaching in public law, public vocational English teaching on the reality and there are a lot of accumulated valuable experience should also be inherited.

Learn from the Ministry of Education in 2001 and 2004, has issued a "full-time compulsory general high school English curriculum standards>> and <<College English Curriculum Requirements (For Trial Implementation>> from the foundation stage and national level for undergraduate teaching of English in public a comprehensive reform of these two programmatic documents raised many new teaching ideas, greatly contributed to the relevant stage of raising the level of English language teaching. vocational English teaching reform in public can take lessons from its rational core.

Innovative public vocational English teaching reform the core of the idea should be innovative, that is how the existing theory of vocational education for English language teaching, highlight the vocational English Teaching professional characteristics, to meet the needs of society. Vocational education is public English The most urgent is to get rid of the impact of undergraduate disciplinary system. Vocational English Course and Undergraduate English Course compared to the course content is based on systematic work process of the course structure, the characteristics of a professional orientation.

Highlight the characteristics of a professional career vocational education and professional attributes is different from other education the most essential features. Higher Education is an undergraduate education in parallel with the type of education, rather than a low level of undergraduate education, undergraduate education, vocational courses and the fundamental difference is the occupational characteristics. vocational English teaching reform in public primary task is to reflect the occupational characteristics, from the curriculum, course organization, teaching methods, will be reflected. English curriculum for the workplace, industry English, English for three stages of curriculum organization as the basic way to work processes, teaching methods will have to attach importance to the integration of teaching to do.

Highlight the Application capabilities include two aspects: First, vocational Xueshengxuewan not just to pass the exam after English, is more important to be able to communicate in English. Second, the vocational career orientation determines the characteristics of public vocational English not to develop general English ability, but should be work done during the task to communicate in English so the English proficiency of public vocational training can be summarized as: to ensure a certain reading, translation capabilities, based on the work focus on training in the process of listening , speaking, writing ability, taking some English learning strategies, communication strategies and cross-cultural communicative competence.

Taking into account differences in levels of public vocational English teaching should be adapted to local conditions, because the school system should be, because the person, not to be "one size fits all." Various schools of English in different professional needs are not the same, the demand for funeral professional will be different from the English language in international trade professional. schools according to their actual situation and the professional and the English "relevance" to determine the public beginning and end of the teaching of English, according to the current source and destination of vocational students, will be basically divided into the vocational English Teaching four levels, basically corresponding to the whereabouts of vocational students in the four major technician, technician, bachelor, master.

Coordination at all levels of teaching in the level, in vocational and general high level is the advanced stage, in the future to the development of professional master's or doctoral possible, in type, vocational and undergraduate co-exist, some students into vocational undergraduate needs, therefore, must be coordinated vocational public high school English education, English language teaching in secondary and undergraduate Currently, vocational education and vocational public high school English and know little about English education vocational school, and undergraduate English education in public convergence problem is basically no school, need to be all English teachers in public vocational schools concerned.

Improve the evaluation system should be assessed daily to the main summative assessment to formative assessment into the main, appropriate elements into the authenticity of the assessment as a national examination for English proficiency exams to test language to change the language of knowledge-based applications for testing capability. On this basis, a rich English public vocational certificate system to encourage vocational students acquire English proficiency certificate in phases, International Business English Certificate, the industry's professional certificate in English as well as professional international vocational qualification certificate by The evaluation system to guide vocational students about English learning process, and concerns the application of English and professional association.

Improve the learning content is still used in public vocational English syllabus, does not involve cross-cultural communication, language use and self-learning content, and content of these items has been recognized as necessary for learning English. Therefore, the reform of vocational education in addition to the public, including basic English language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation, we must also give due consideration to communication skills, cross-cultural skills and learning strategies content to ensure that vocational graduates to communicate effectively in English and English to develop good habits for the future to further learning English have the necessary tools.

And the credit hours of vocational school English class system settings can not meet the requirements of vocational status of one hand, professional and English-related degree differences, a unified school year arrangement does not meet the individual needs of each professional, the other , vocational use the "Combination" teaching model, this model can not guarantee work-study focused learning time, so the hours should be public vocational English and English by the professional to determine the correlation, the Vocational School schools will gradually shift credit from the academic year, in line with modular curriculum and the "combination" of the training model to adapt.

Information technology and Information technology is currently teaching students as part of everyday communication, but also one of the future work of students, has been shown to improve the quality of English teaching one of the means, therefore, the reform of vocational English language teaching should be public financing elements of Information technology into the existing "large-class teaching and practice of combining small classes," "classroom instruction combined with self-learning" on the basis of such models to explore a more practical vocational Information technology-based English Teaching in Higher mode.

Compared to teacher training and professional education, public vocational English teachers themselves are relatively weak. To reform the existing public vocational disadvantages of English teaching, teachers also need to change their ideas, therefore, public vocational teacher training is the current English teaching reform can start and the key to the success of one practical approach is by the English teacher and professional technicians, teachers and business together, constitute a "dual" structure of English teachers in public by three co-design courses, but taught by language teachers to ensure that public English close integration with the teaching profession.

Chinese background and the international trend of English as an international communication tool, the use of the environment and is closely related to changes in the international situation in the past, focus on the teaching of English learning a foreign culture, technology and management, teaching content occurred in the context of foreign countries, while now the graduate students in the country with foreign colleagues or to communicate with foreign-based, China's industrial structure is in transition, with many overseas Chinese companies are actively exploiting the boundary, so the reform of public vocational English roots in Chinese background, while Taking into account the development trends of international industrial vocational education in China's new requirements.

New system of vocational English Teaching
Higher long-standing abuse of public Higher Education in English, the audience is very broad and important position, so the way vocational English Teaching should conduct a comprehensive, systematic reform, rather than partial fixes. I believe in the common institutions of higher vocational efforts, public vocational English teaching can effectively solve the problem, and the establishment of vocational education can meet the needs of the new era of a new system of vocational English Teaching course, different schools according to the actual situation, a comprehensive reform or progressive way. The author's Shenzhen Polytechnic from 2007 to professional Foreign Language Teaching reform, and achieved very satisfactory results, by students, teachers and three high schools, certainly in Table 1 is a public school founded by the new English language teaching system, which is characterized by better able to put the vocational English Teaching Problems and Solutions unify.
