Abstract In response to the goal of cultivating the “four haves” good teachers in the new era,this study proposes systematic reforms for the specialized English for chemistry curriculum,which suffers from outdated content,rigid teaching methods,and a lack of teacher-training characteristic.The reforms focus on three dimensions:teaching content,methods,and evaluation.In teaching content,the reforms emphasize the combination of frontier knowledge and practicality,and deeply integrate social and moral values.In teaching methods,a variety of approaches are adopted,including multimodal resources,joint teaching by multiple teachers,academic lectures,mind maps,participatory teaching,and project-driven learning.In teaching evaluation,a diversified evaluation system complementary to teaching activities is built,and the content of final exams is optimized.The implementation effect survey shows that students are highly satisfied with the reformed course,which has achieved remarkable feedback in expanding international vision,and improving team cooperation,reading and writing skills.However,it also reflects that there are shortcomings in cultivating innovation ability and meeting the needs of students from different regions.Future curriculum reforms will leverage innovative tasks and diversified assessments to foster competency advancement,while utilizing diagnostic testing and flexible grouping to achieve precision in education,thereby comprehensively enhancing teacher candidates’ innovation capabilities and the effectiveness of differentiated support.
