Lifelong Education, Vol.8, No.1, 2019; 222 Views

Since 1980s, higher vocational education has always been influenced by general higher education mode in teaching. The English teaching mode of higher vocational education also follows English teaching mode of ordinary higher education. According to students' actual situation of higher vocational colleges, English teaching mode suitable for students in higher vocational colleges has not been summarized. As a whole, vocational English teaching still adopts traditional "cramming education" teaching mode. Most English teachers use PPT to give a lecture, while students listen lectures passively, with little classroom interaction between teachers and students. It cannot carry out the teaching model that students act as main body and teachers act as the supplement. There are many students in higher vocational English class, and these students have different English levels. Most higher vocational students have weak English foundation and have not a correct learning method. Many students have less vocabulary accumulation, and their pronunciation is not standard, so they dare not communicate with others in English. Thus, higher vocational English teaching must change traditional teaching mode, change teachers' role in class, improve students' enthusiasm for learning English, and meet educational reforms that focus on cultivation of innovative spirit and practical ability.

Lifelong Education, Vol.8, No.1, 2019; 207 Views

Based on the constructivist learning theory, this paper adopts the anchor teaching method to construct the COME theory model which takes the classroom, viewpoint, method and elements as the main unit according to the requirements of the education and training plan for outstanding engineers. Through the exploration and practice of the education and training plan for the outstanding engineers in the specialty of optoelectronic information science and engineering, the result proves that the students can complete the self-study of "anchor" step by step under the guidance of teachers. Moreover, they can not only actively participate in the teaching and learning process, be willing to explore and work hard, but also will be able to gradually improve abilities of collecting and processing information, acquiring new knowledge and enhance the ability to analyze and solve problems.

Lifelong Education, Vol.8, No.1, 2019; 237 Views

Based on the constructivist learning theory, this paper adopts cooperative learning teaching method and constructs the COME science and technology education model with classroom, ideas, methods and elements as the unit according to the model of Chinese college students' physics academic competition. After more than ten years of exploration and practice by the micro-nano optical science and technology innovation team, the results show that the teaching method of combining teacher guidance and cooperative learning in the teaching of university photoelectric science and technology training not only strengthens the communication and cooperation between students, exercises students' ability to analyze and solve problems, cultivates students' cooperative consciousness, innovative spirit and scientific research quality, but also improves students' academic performance in a large area, which can definitely enhance students' knowledge, ability and quality comprehensively and harmoniously.

Lifelong Education, Vol.8, No.1, 2019; 211 Views

English is an applied language, listening, speaking, reading and writing as the main ways of daily application are also the focus and difficulty of our English learning. However, in our daily life, we find that the application of any language should also include gestures, body parts, expressions, images and other diversified expressions. Under such circumstances, in order to really use English proficiently and learn English well, multiple literacy should also be a part of teaching, especially for students majoring in English. In this paper, the feasibility and importance of multi-reading teaching are verified through experiments. It is hoped that the reading of this paper can provide some help and inspiration to researchers in the field of English teaching.
