Article Preview

Abstract:

English major students in China’s provincial higher institutions are facing a very fierce employment situation. In order to improve the students’ quality and their competitiveness of getting a job, we investigated the curriculum and cultivation modes for English majors, the teaching and learning conditions of twenty three provincial colleges and universities of Henan Province in China. On the basis of investigation and analysis of the existing problems, this paper puts forward some countermeasures. Colleges and universities of different types and at different levels should have different English majors training modes in order to have their own outstanding features. Inter-disciplinary English talents can be cultivated by paying attention to students' integrated English language competence and humanistic quality by strengthening English teachers’ training and inter-university cooperation and by innovating the English major undergraduates’ cultivation methods.
