The study uses data from six colleges in Zhejiang Province, analyzing 438 valid questionnaires to assess the current status of bilingual education. The findings reveal that 79.22% of students believe that bilingual education is necessary; however, issues such as a heavy learning burden (61.64%) and a need for improved satisfaction levels (only 46.12% expressed high satisfaction) are prevalent. In response to these findings, the paper proposes reform pathways based on the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) framework, suggesting feasible strategies for bilingual curriculum reform in higher vocational colleges through content-driven and language-embedded approaches.
