description In correspondence with the Declaration released by UNESCO in 2015, on April 22 in 2016 China issued Chinas Position Paper on the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which acts as a guidance of Chinas education reforms of internationalization and massification since then. The paper evaluates the challenging issues of the further sustainable development of Chinas higher education from both a macroscopical and a microscopical perspective. From a macroscopical perspective, the two challenging issues of achieving the sustainable development have been spotted, followed by urges for microscopical reforming measures in the designs and practice of foreign language teaching in engineering-specialized universities. From a microscopical perspective, the framework of an experimental reforming project in STEM English is designed and developed by teaching practice between 2018 and 2022. Detailed theoretical researches and practical measures are illustrated according to the time sequence of curricular reforms. In conclusion, taking into account the ever-changing global environment, there is an urge for engineering talents with global competency. Such a macro-levelled external urge demands for logical and implementable reforming measures on a micro-level. The reform of converting STEM English into English Information Literacy Curriculum meets the educational requirements in the post-Covid19 era.
