Abstract

This study takes the school-based curriculum Zhanjiang Marine Culture, offered by Zhanjiang Preschool Education College, as a case study to explore the development and design of the course, summarize its experiences, and reflect on its shortcomings. The survey results confirm that the course has achieved certain outcomes in meeting students’ developmental needs, showcasing the distinctive educational features of the institution, and preserving local marine culture. As a result, school-based curricula in coastal vocational colleges can make full use of local marine resources and institutional advantages, incorporating additional course modules to reflect the unique characteristics of marine culture in teaching, while fostering marine awareness and marine science education. Based on these findings, this research provides a valuable reference for coastal vocational colleges to develop school-based English curricula and explore interdisciplinary talent cultivation pathways for English majors.
