　　reform of college english education

　　as college english education is greatly emphasized with the rapid development of global communication, the defects that exist in the current educational system are open to more criticism. it is widely acknowledged that a thorough reform of college english education should be under way.

　　educators definitely should be responsible for the inadequacy of college english education. it is known to all that interest is the best teacher, but a large part of college english teachers underestimate the effect of interest and keep preaching in class. besides, “language environment” is needed to learn a foreign language and the lack of it in chinese universities has hindered the student’s english learning.some problems of the students’ learning habits is also the source of the inadequacy. chinese students tend to separate vocabulary memorizing, grammar, listening, speaking, reading, and writing and therefore their english is also “broken” in this way. in addition, they are generally reluctant to practice speaking. this has greatly contributed to the “dumb english” of chinese students.

　　the success of the college english education reform requires efforts of both educators and students. the universities should encourage students to speak english in their daily communications and hole more activities with the purpose of promoting students’ speaking of english. teachers should focus on attracting students with charms and interest of english in their classes. students should try to be participants of the learning activities rather than passive receptors. with the collaboration of educators and students, the reform of college english education will surely yield plentiful fruits
