According to English Curriculum Requirements for Higher Vocational Education formulated by Ministry of Education of China, teaching objectives of vocational college English course is to enhance students’ language proficiency, enable students to master effective learning approaches and strategies, and cultivate students’ ability to use English in workplace. Since 1970s, a wide range of studies on learning strategies from different aspects and perspectives have been conducted at home and abroad. However, little related research has done on that of vocational college students. So, this paper presents an empirical study of listening strategies preferred by non-English majors of vocational college in China to provide some pedagogical implications for teachers to improve the students’ autonomous learning abilities, learning efficiency, and English proficiency.
