Abstract
Since 1995, the employment situation of talents in higher vocational education has been declining. Among them, there are many influencing factors, the imbalance of talent demand in all walks of life is one of them. In addition, the model of education itself is not enough, the teaching structure is not scientific, and the talents trained do not satisfy the needs of the society; Moreover, the higher vocational learning level is not high, the student's knowledge level, the technical level, the comprehensive quality, are not so excellent. All of these further increased the employment difficulty. Due to the fast and tremendous growing of China's economy and the further acceleration with the process of internationalization, talents in various industries are required to realize the comprehensive application of professional knowledge and professional application of English (Wenyu, 1998). China's economic system continues to reform and the openness of the market continues to relax, especially China's accession to the WTO's great impact, China's talent demand structure has also produced a huge change, with high level of English and other English ability of talent in the market demand should not be available. Therefore, in order to adapt to the employment needs proposed by this market, the vocational education of high degree not only needs to change the development of ideas, improve the vocational quality of higher vocational students, but also emphasize cultivation of learners' good English foundation and practical communication in English application ability.
