Abstract: Internationalizing academic curricula is crucial in meeting the demands for global talent and fostering students with enhanced international competitiveness. This study explores the role of advancing an all-English teaching approach in the Chemistry English curriculum to promote internationalization. By analyzing the current landscape and challenges of traditional Chemistry English education alongside the implementation of all-English teaching in our university’s chemistry courses, this paper proposes targeted measures for educational reform. These include improvements in teaching philosophy, methodologies, curriculum structure, resources, and content delivery. The article underscores the importance of adopting an all-English approach in enhancing the internationalization of the Chemistry English curriculum and discusses how these reforms can elevate students’ comprehensive skills and global competitiveness.

Key words: Chemistry English, Internationalization of curriculum, Teaching reform
