A Comparative Study of the "Universal-Particular" Teaching Model of Maritime English and College English from the Perspective of Vocational Undergraduate Education
The core orientation of vocational undergraduate education is to cultivate high-quality technical and skilled talents. English teaching should balance "general language proficiency" and "specific vocational ability", achieving a deep integration of language teaching and vocational demands. The navigation major is a field with particularly prominent industry-specificity in vocational undergraduate education. The teaching models of maritime English (specialized English) and university English (general English) are significantly different. The coordinated connection of these two models affects the quality of navigation professionals' training and their international adaptability. Based on the concept of vocational undergraduate education, this paper conducts a comparative study of the two teaching models, analyzes the current differences between the two models, and, in combination with the actual situation of vocational undergraduate navigation programs, proposes targeted and operational coordinated optimization strategies to help cultivate high-quality navigation talents with solid language foundation and strong vocational adaptability.
