Abstract

This paper aims to explore strategies for improving English listening and speaking skills among students in higher vocational colleges. Through analyzing the current status of students' English listening and speaking abilities in these colleges, and integrating language acquisition theories, English listening and speaking teaching strategies, as well as multimedia teaching and autonomous learning theories, a series of targeted improvement strategies are proposed. Using empirical research methods, this paper verifies the effectiveness of the proposed strategies and provides suggestions for English teaching in higher vocational colleges. The research results indicate that significant improvements in students' English listening and speaking abilities can be achieved by enhancing teaching methods, creating an English listening and speaking environment, intensifying listening and speaking training, and cultivating students' autonomous learning skills.
