Abstract:There are many problems, especially the smooth transition of the courses, in the English teaching of the secondary and the higher vocational institutions. From the perspective of the ESP approach and the streamlined management model, this paper analyzes the root causes of the phenomenon existing in Chinese English education-“Much time consumed, low efficiency achieved”, and then proposes a macro solution to the reform of the English teaching of the vocational institutions, and still further, to the reform of the whole English education in China-through elementary school to middle school, college and university.
