With the rapid and extensive economic and social development in China, higher vocational and technical education has been made a corresponding rapid development. Both theoretical research and educational practice in higher vocational and technical education has been developed quickly. For some reasons, our higher vocational and technical education hasn't established its own characteristics on research or practice, which is especially true in its public English teaching. In particular, the current College English Teaching hasn't oriented by Employment. It didn't meet the needs of English skills and qualities of high-technicians in employment market, which leads to many employers unsatisfied with the English proficiency of our students. And meanwhile, some students think that learning English is dispensable in vocational school and think little of its value to their vocational development.
