Construction and Implementation of a Modular Curriculum System for Maritime English in Higher Vocational Colleges
This study focuses on the reform of Maritime English courses in higher vocational colleges. To address the issue of "disconnection between learning and application" in traditional courses, it constructs a three-level modular curriculum system of "Basic - Core - Extended". The module content is determined by anchoring job competency maps, scenario-based teaching is adopted to strengthen application training, and multiple evaluations are used to align with industry standards. Empirical results show that this system significantly improves students' Maritime English application ability and competitiveness in competitions and certifications, providing a promotable practical example for the teaching reform of Maritime English in higher vocational colleges.
