This essay discusses the research on an ESP (English for Specific Purposes) teaching model for college English courses for health management majors in vocational universities. The study consists of two stages: a needs analysis and the development and evaluation of an ESP teaching model based on the analysis results. The needs analysis was conducted through a questionnaire survey and interviews with health management majors and teachers. The ESP teaching model includes a syllabus design based on the specific language needs of health management majors, a task-based teaching approach, authentic materials and contexts, and learner-centered instruction. The model was evaluated through a classroom experiment and feedback from students and teachers. The results showed that the ESP teaching model was well-received by health management majors and teachers, and improved their English language proficiency and prepared them for their future careers.
