Abstract: The establishment and effective implementation of all-English chemistry courses play a crucial role in building world-class disciplines and cultivating talent with core competitive advantages. The teaching of all-English chemistry courses focuses on imparting fundamental professional knowledge, with the goal of broadening students’ international perspectives, enabling them to master the globally recognized chemical language, and showcasing their chemical research achievements on the international stage. This paper addresses the challenges of teaching analytical chemistry in English in a non-native environment. It considers the individual differences in students’ English language proficiency, career aspirations, and the alignment between their chemistry and English foundations. Based on these factors, the paper designs and implements an all-English curriculum, exploring teaching methods and strategies that are applicable to most students, ensuring that each student achieves significant progress and growth in the learning process.

Key words: Individual differences, All-English courses, Language proficiency, Career goals
