Abstract

With the continuous advancement of economic globalisation and the rapid development of modern agriculture, international communication in agriculture has become an inevitable trend. As one of the critical courses for cultivating Marine Fisheries Science and Technology (MFST) majors in universities, Marine Fisheries English (MFE) aims to expand students’ professional perspectives, master international advanced research, and enhance their international communication skills. Based on the global talent training mode of marine fisheries, it is necessary to optimise and improve all aspects of English teaching for the majors. Based on the characteristics of English teaching, this paper analysed the problems existing in the current MFE teaching processes for MFST in the university. It put forward some optimisation suggestions on the reform and exploration of MFE teaching from four aspects: teachers, teaching content, teaching mode and evaluation, to provide reference for the training of MFST majors in colleges and universities.
