Advancing Higher Vocational English Reading Instruction: The Development Protocol of the Intercultural Awareness Experiential Teaching (IAET) Model
Abstract
Higher vocational English education places significant emphasis on intercultural understanding. However, there is a notable lack of research on the reliability and validity of blended intercultural awareness teaching methodologies in higher vocational English reading education in Henan, China. This project addresses this gap by building an Intercultural Awareness Experiential Teaching (IAET) model. A pilot study conducted in a higher vocational college in Henan province, China, evaluates the efficacy of the IAET model. Using a model based on the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) instructional design, the findings affirm that the proposed IAET teaching model demonstrates validity and reliability for higher vocational English instruction. The IAET model emerges as a valuable tool, assisting English teachers in enhancing students' competence in English reading, thereby addressing the existing research gap. The IAET model stands as a catalyst, empowering English teachers to enhance students' competence in English reading.
