The Construction of a New Ecosystem for Vocational Undergraduate English Based on Needs Analysis

Abstract

This research has constructed a new ecosystem for vocational undergraduate English education, based on a three-dimensional needs analysis framework of students, society, and institutions. Through an action research project conducted at Hainan Vocational University of Science and Technology, three core issues were revealed: students' weak basic language skills, mismatch between course design and demands, and insufficient industry relevance. The constructed ecosystem integrates three main pillars: personalized student learning paths, ESP classroom teaching environment emphasizing practical application, and the collaborative development of industry-academia integration mechanism. Findings reveal that students' needs are evolving towards specialized communication skills and real learning scenarios. This model aims to cultivate technically skilled talents with global competence by systematic integration of teaching innovation, institutional guarantees, and labor market demands. This framework provides a sustainable solution for the transformation of vocational English education, enabling it to develop into a dynamic and employment-oriented ecosystem.
