ABSTRACT

This research explores the concept of "new productive forces (NPF)", also referred to as "new quality productive forces". Through a comprehensive literature review and analysis, it examines the evolving landscape of vocational education under the context of new productive forces and the corresponding career development needs of foreign language educators in vocational colleges. The study provides strategies to better equip foreign language educators in preparing students for emerging industries and technologies. An illustrative scenario demonstrates a staff development program for foreign language educators in a vocational college, and offers suggestions to the school authorities about further support in developing teachers' competencies.
