1.An Analysis of College English Teaching in china

Unbalanced development exists in our college English teaching. Students entered colleges with greatly different English basic skills， even students of different colleges or same grades of same colleges have enormously different expectations of English. Especially after enlarging the recruitment scale of ordinary university， some students with poor English basic skills poured into colleges. Some students don’t have a system of language knowledge； even some are still very poor in grammar and pronunciation. Though colleges and teachers have spent a lot time on English teaching， the actual results are not effective. Students’ language skills can’t fit the actual needs of social development. College English teaching is to set up a harmonious and high effective teaching atmosphere in the English class to make students take part in the practice. Thus we can cultivate their abilities， which are the final teaching aim—developing the students’ English intercommunicative ability.

2.Strategies to College English Teaching

a，Teacher Should Make Better Ways

In English teaching and learning process， sometimes the materials offered by textbooks are not sufficient enough. It is necessary to supplement the text with other materials， which is relevant with the text students are supposed to learn. And also， the teacher can use some tactics to facilitate language learning and make it more effective. Making full use of limited class time is very important. At the same time， if the teacher incorporate useful characteristics into a communicative lesson pattern， it will be better. To improve language teaching， teachers must make the speech and explanation in class systematical. The teacher must make the aim of the teaching material clear.

b， To Make the Group Work Relevant

Students must perceive the group tasks as integral to the course objectives， not just busy work. Some teachers believe that group work is most successful if it involved the work with making judgment on the part of the students. For example， in an engineering class， the teacher gives groups a problem to solve： determine if the city should purchase twenty five or fifty buses. Each group prepares a report， and a representative from each group is randomly selected to present the group’s solution to the class. The approaches used by the various groups are compared and discussed by the entire class， then the whole class comes to a decision.

c，Making Full Use of Network Resources

Make fully use of network resource. Teachers can seek for and choose some net friends or hail-fellow classes of equivalent English level and roughly the same communication purpose from the relevant information of electronic forum provided by homepage of website for classroom communication. Through discussing together， they can make requests for communicative activities， make clear the objective of their cooperation and respective plan， discuss some sociocultural problems， so as to understand pragmatic communicative rules under different circumstances.

3.Conclusion

We all know that English teaching now advocates “thinking in English”， which refers to understand values， code of conduct and way of thinking in English culture by using cross social ability. Therefore， the purpose of college English teaching is to cultivate students’social ability and to meet modern society’s requirements for college students’foreign language aptitude.

To have good English is becoming a very important competence for college students. A lot of researches have been made abroad and in China. This study utilizes questionnaire as the research tool to get some useful finds. But owing to the limited resources and time as well as the researcher's capability， there are several limitations in this study， such as： the scope of the sample should be extended， participants in this study are limited， the results can not represent the general situation in China， and the methodology adopted in the study is single. Therefore， They are needed to be improved in future research.
