1. Higher vocational education trains advanced applied professionals in the fields of technology, production, management and service.

2. Laying a good language foundation is an important goal of English teaching. However, to lay a good foundation, we should follow the principle of "practicality first, make full use of it", emphasizing both laying a good language foundation and cultivating language application ability; Emphasize the training of basic language skills and the cultivation of language application ability in foreign-related communication activities.

7. Actively introduce and use modern teaching methods such as computer multimedia and network technology, improve school English teaching conditions, organize students to participate in colorful English extracurricular activities, create a good English learning atmosphere, and stimulate students' consciousness and enthusiasm in learning English.
