中文摘要
高等职业院校是我国专业技术人才培养的重要组成部分。在全球化的时代背景下，社会对高职专业技术人才的要求也不断地提高，要求他们掌握一定的外文翻译与应用能力，以便更好地在专业领域内对文献、技术等进行学习。由于我国高职教育对专业技能的过分偏重，没有针对企业需求对高职英语课程设置进行优化，限制了高职英语教育的发展和英语教学效果的改善。
本文在前人的研究资料基础上，基于需求分析模型,采用定量、定性相结合的方法，通过调查问卷的形式，对广西职业技术学院等五所广西高职院校英语选修课开设和实施情况进行调查，对部分企业对毕业生职业能力需求的调查。并利用SPSS软件，对调查数据进行分析处理，从而得出相关结论。本文主要对一下几个方面的问题进行研究：1）学生对于现有的英语选修课课程设置各方面的满意度2）学生对关于英语选修课设置、内容等方面的意见. 3）企业对高职毕业生英语能力的主要要求。
通过分析我们可以看出：1）学生对于英语选修课的教学侧重点、信息量等满意度相对不高，而对于学校、老师教学态度等是非常认同的。而对于英语选修课课时及上课时间等也是基本满意的。 2）影响学生选修英语选修课的因素中，老师的教学水平是一个重要的方面；学生更希望从英语选修课中提高自己的能力而非单纯的为通过考试。另外在选修英语课时，学生更倾向于按照自己的意愿来进行，而不是让学校或者老师安排。 3）不同性质的企业对毕业生英语能力的要求是不同的，外企和合资企业的要求相对更高。现阶段企业更加注重是学生对行业相关英语的掌握，对于阅读和写作两种英语技能的要求都是一致的。

Vocational colleges play an irreplaceable role in our professional and technical personnel training. In the era of globalization, the requirements of professional and technical personnel vocational stage also continue to improve, which recommends the students master foreign language translation and application capabilities, and be better in the professional field of literature and technology learning. As a reality, in our vocational education, we emphasis too much on the training of professional skills, and no curriculum is optimized for the requirement of enterprises. As a result, it greatly limits the improvement of vocational education in the development of English and English teaching.
In this paper, on the basis of previous research data and models of needs analysis, we combined qualitative and quantitative methods, and the questionnaires form have been used. We investigated the circumstances and implementation of English electives in Guangxi vocational colleges, and the demands for graduates’ capacity by some companies in Guangxi are also be investigated. Finally, we used SPSS statistical to do exhaustive analysis of the survey results. This paper focuses on several aspects about the study：1）students’ satisfaction with some aspects of existing English electives curriculum 2) students’ attitudes towards English elective settings, content, etc 3) The main requirements of enterprises for vocational graduates’ English capability
Through the analysis we can see: 1) students’ satisfaction is not high for the main focus and the amount of information of the English electives，while they are very satisfied with teachers' attitude. 2）Among all the factors that influence the students' choice of English optional courses, the teaching proficiency is of great importance. the students want to improve their English skills rather than just pass the exams. Besides, the students prefer to choose the optional courses according to their own will rather than be imposed by either the teachers or the school system. 3) Different companies have different requirements for their English skills and those of the foreign companies and the joint ventures are relatively higher. The companies at present focus more on students' command of the English relating to the business and their requirements of their English reading and writing are the same.
