Abstract
The study navigates the evolving landscape of higher education, focusing on innovative pedagogical approaches for 21st‐century language classrooms. It identifies the need to adapt teaching methodologies to match the dynamic educational environment driven by technological advancements and diverse student bodies. Utilizing a mixed‐method approach involving 20 teachers and 75 students from Xuchang Vocational Technical College, Henan Province, China, the research reveals the prevalence of technology integration and the influence of diverse materials in language learning experiences. Notably, a comprehensive teaching guide has been developed based on the study's findings, aiming to bridge traditional methods with modern pedagogical needs. Recommendations include deeper exploration of challenges in 21st‐century education, the development of additional educational materials, and rigorous testing of the teaching strategy guide for effective implementation in language classrooms. This study provides valuable insights for educators to optimize teaching practices, emphasizing the integration of technology in language learning and the ongoing need for adaptable pedagogical approaches.
