LTD.10.18063/EIR.v3i10.1481ArticleResearch on the Differences and Integration Mechanism of Maritime English and College English Teaching Goals in Vocational Universitieshttps://artdesignp.com/journal/EIR/3/10/10.18063/EIR.v3i10.1481LiuJuan20253102025-11-26The core positioning of vocational undergraduate education is to cultivate high-quality technical and skilled talents. Maritime-related majors are the distinctive specialties of these institutions, and their main task is to provide practitioners who can stand firm in the maritime industry and have a global perspective. In the teaching of vocational undergraduate maritime-related majors, College English and Maritime English are two core courses, which are closely related but have different emphases. To solve the current problems of disconnection in maritime English teaching and lack of targetedness in college English teaching, the key lies in clearly defining the teaching goals of the two courses and achieving effective integration. This article is based on the concept of integrated education in vocational undergraduate institutions, explores the fundamental reasons for the disconnection between Maritime English and College English teaching, and on this basis, constructs a corresponding integration mechanism to help vocational undergraduate institutions optimize the English teaching system for maritime-related majors and improve the quality of talent cultivation.Vocational undergraduate institutions, Maritime English, College English, Teaching goal differences, Integration mechanism
