Under the ongoing deepening reform of the vocational education system, English courses, as a crucial component of talent development, are facing the practical need to transition from being tool-oriented to becoming interdisciplinary and application-focused. Traditional teaching models often emphasize the imparting of linguistic knowledge while lacking systematic consideration for disciplinary integration and competency cultivation, making it difficult to meet the objectives of cultivating interdisciplinary technical and skilled talents in the new era. The "Five Refinements Model," with its core principles of precise objectives, refined content, ingenious methods, accurate processes, and meticulous evaluation, offers a new pathway and approach for integrated English teaching in vocational education. This paper, taking the Phoenix Vocational Education Press textbook of higher vocational education as an example, conducts action research on integrated teaching, aiming to explore practical implementation pathways and provide references for the innovation of English teaching reform and talent development models in vocational education.
