Abstract

College English listening and speaking courses are crucial for foreign language majors in vocational colleges. However, these courses still face many issues. Under the context of industry-education integration, vocational colleges are required to actively establish professional industries related to their programs and closely integrate industry with teaching. In this context, the OBE (Outcome-Based Education) philosophy, which is goal-oriented and focuses on the needs of social development and the abilities required for talent, designs the students' learning curriculum in reverse. The students' ability levels as guided by outcome goals align with the capability indicators required by industry-education integration. Therefore, teachers should reform the listening and speaking courses based on the policies of industry-education integration and the guidance of outcome-oriented principles. They should design a curriculum system that aligns with the abilities and levels students should achieve upon graduation, including teaching goals, content, design, and evaluation, to fundamentally change the traditional teaching mode of listening and speaking courses, address their shortcomings, and cultivate a group of compound talents proficient in foreign languages that meet industry needs.
