This study delves into the process by which teachers shift from being controllers in traditional teaching settings to becoming facilitators, and offers a detailed examination of how this transformation plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of English education. The paper highlights the challenges currently faced in English teaching practices and addresses them by outlining the key competencies that teachers, as facilitators, should possess. Moreover, it offers specific strategies to facilitate this transformation. The study aims to provide higher education institutions with a practical framework for teaching reform, helping them better align with the evolving demands of talent cultivation in the modern era.
