Integrating Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in Hybrid English Teaching Instruction for Higher Vocational Institutions

This paper explores the integration of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) into hybrid teaching methods in higher vocational English education. With the advancement of educational concepts and technologies, the importance of English language instruction in vocational settings has also grown, necessitating innovative teaching approaches. This study identifies several challenges teachers face, including resistance to adopting traditional methods, insufficient mastery of hybrid teaching strategies, and underutilization of online resources. The OBE framework supports a student-centered, achievement-oriented learning environment that aligns educational outcomes with both curricular goals and students’ needs. Through the implementation of course design activities, fostering of active student engagement, and emphasis on continuous improvement, this paper explored hybrid English instruction and students’ academic and personal development. The findings highlight the need for educators to engage in reflective practices and embrace iterative improvements, ensuring that hybrid teaching models effectively prepare students for future professional challenges. The paper concludes that the successful adoption of hybrid teaching in higher vocational education depends on educators’ willingness to innovate and adapt, ultimately contributing to the sustainable development of English language instruction in the modern educational landscape.
