Reform of College English Education
The defects that exist in the current educational system are open to more criticism. It is known 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 bad habits of the students’ learning habits are also one of the factors of the inadequacy. Chinese students tend to separate vocabulary memorizing, grammar, listening, speaking, reading, and writing, 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 hold 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.
大学英语教育改革
当代教育体系中存在的缺陷收到了越来越多的批评。虽然一直有言兴趣是最好的老师，但现在的大学英语老师完全低估了兴趣的影响力，只是在课堂上不断说教。同时，“语言环境”对于学习一门外语非常必要，但由于中国大学里缺少这种环境，学生们的英语学习也受到了影响。
学生们学习时的一些坏习惯也是造成该问题的一个因素。中国学生习惯于将单词记忆、语法学习、听、说、读和写分开来，因此他们的英语也同样是“破碎的”。另外，他们总是不愿意练习口语。这一习惯很大程度上导致了中国学生们的“哑巴英语”。
大学英语教育改革的成功取决于教育者和学习者两个方面。校方应该鼓励学生在日常沟通中使用英语，并以提高学生英语口语水平为目的举办更多活动。教师应该专注于吸引学生们对于英语的兴趣。学生应该试着参与到这些学习活动中，而不是仅仅做一名被动的接收者。
