Abstract

Compared with traditional English testing approaches, Communicative Language Testing (CLT) places greater emphasis on the practical communicative value of English instruction. It advocates a student-centered teaching philosophy. Furthermore, it effectively improves the innovation, practicality and effectiveness of English teaching. The above characteristics of Communicative Language Testing enable it to exert a remarkable effect in English teaching at higher vocational colleges. On this basis, this paper elaborates on the historical evolution and significance of Communicative Language Testing. Combined with the traits of English teaching in higher vocational colleges, it puts forward three practical suggestions, so as to optimize the teaching effect and improve vocational college students’ comprehensive English learning competence.
