The advancement of new media technologies has presented unprecedented opportunities and challenges for vocational English education. By integrating diverse media resources, instructors can craft more vivid, interactive, and personalized educational materials, enhancing students' interest and learning outcomes. However, issues such as information overload and divided attention have arisen, necessitating educators to emphasize the balance between concise content and interactivity in instructional design. This paper analyzes the current state of vocational English education in the context of new media, exploring innovative approaches to optimizing educational content, fostering teaching methodologies, improving teaching quality, establishing diversified assessment systems, and promoting interaction between educators and students. These innovative pathways aim to offer valuable insights for reforming vocational English education. Research indicates that new media technologies not only enrich teaching methods but also effectively enhance students' English proficiency and overall competence.
