Abstract
As socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, rural vitalization is an important national strategy for China. The vitalization of education is an important part of rural vitalization. Cultivating versatile teachers for elementary schools can improve the quality of rural teaching, so as to promote rural vitalization from the educational aspect. As English teaching is a weak part in rural education, the study focuses on the preprofessional cultivation strategies for English competencies of elementary school versatile teachers. By means of quantitative and qualitative studies, the study reveals some problems in preprofessional cultivation of English competencies, then puts forward preprofessional cultivation strategies from aspects of teaching objectives, curriculum, professional training and assessment methods. It is hoped that the study can provide effective suggestions as well as practical guidance for the preprofessional cultivation of English competences of elementary school versatile teachers under the strategy of rural vitalization.
