Students’ English Language Competence

摘要

English language competence serves as the core of senior high school English core literacy, covering four basic dimensions: listening, speaking, reading and writing, as well as comprehensive abilities such as pragmatic application, logical thinking and cross-cultural cognition. Senior high school is a critical stage for the systematic shaping and comprehensive upgrading of students’ English language ability, which lays a solid foundation for students’ college English learning and future international communication. In the context of the new curriculum reform, senior high school English teaching has shifted from single knowledge indoctrination to competencyoriented cultivation, yet many middle schools still face prominent problems in practical teaching. The disconnection between input and output, the imbalance of skill training, the lack of situational teaching and rigid evaluation mechanisms have restricted the sustainable improvement of students’ comprehensive language competence. Based on the connotation of senior high school English language competence and the requirements of the new curriculum standard, this paper analyzes the current dilemmas of students’ English language ability development, explores targeted teaching optimization strategies from the perspectives of balanced skill training, situational teaching innovation, learning method guidance and diversiffed evaluation, and summarizes the internal logic of language ability improvement. The research aims to provide practical and feasible teaching references for frontline senior high school English teachers, promote the overall improvement of students’ comprehensive English language competence, and realize the fundamental goal of English subject literacy cultivation.
