Abstract: Against the backdrop of globalization, English teaching in higher vocational colleges needs to enhance students’ English application abilities to meet social demands. The Spoken English Competition for Higher Vocational Colleges has evolved with a rigorous competition system and diverse question types, aiming to improve students’ English application capabilities and promote teaching reforms. Current challenges in higher vocational English teaching include traditional teaching concepts, curriculum content disjointed from vocational needs, uneven student proficiency levels, and single-dimensional evaluation systems. The competition has driven a shift toward “student-centered” teaching concepts, optimized teaching designs, updated teaching content, and promoted diversified teaching evaluations. Based on the competition, higher vocational English teaching should adopt vocational competency-oriented curriculum design, apply diverse teaching methods, leverage online resources and modern educational technologies, and build a diversified teaching evaluation system. Future reforms in higher vocational English teaching must deepen, using the competition to further optimize instruction and cultivate high-quality skilled talents adaptable to social development.
