This study takes the reform of early childhood English teaching models as its point of departure, with a particular focus on current instructional materials and systemic challenges. Specifically, it examines reforms targeting the early childhood education model for students in secondary vocational preschool education programs and proposes corresponding strategies for innovation. At present, vocational education in China tends to underemphasize English instruction, resulting in generally weak language foundations among secondary vocational students, overly traditional teaching models, and limited language proficiency. Through this research, the study aims to identify practical measures that can contribute to the advancement of English education in China, enhance students’ overall competencies, and strengthen their English language competitiveness.
