ABSTRACT

Since the promulgation of the national "English Curriculum Standards for Higher Vocational Education (2021 Edition)", the English curriculum reform in higher vocational colleges has been advancing steadily. What are the effects of the reform? New policies of "unified examination" for upgrading from junior college to undergraduate college will be implemented in Guangxi in 2025, and English is one of the designated test subjects. This has raised new requirements for the construction of English curriculum in higher vocational colleges in Guangxi and brought new opportunities for its reform. This paper studies the national English curriculum standards, conducts analysis of the new examination policies, and obtains information about the effect of the current implementation of higher vocational college English curriculum in Guangxi through a questionnaire survey. In view of the real demands of students, four suggestions for the reform of the English curriculum are put forward to clarify the direction for improving the construction of the higher vocational English curriculum.
