The Innovation of College English Teaching under the Mechanism of Cultivating Practical Talents

Abstract

After years of development, English teaching in colleges and universities of our country has achieved good results in many aspects. But we must see that in the new era of economic and social development, the training of personnel puts forward higher requirements and higher standards. It is urgent to deepen the reform of English teaching in colleges and universities by making self-adjustment and consciously guiding with the aim of cultivating talents. This paper briefly expounds and analyzes the innovation of college English teaching under the practical talents training mechanism. China has always attached great importance in English teaching Especially since the reform and opening up,English has been regarded as an important public and basic course in China's colleges and universities.After years of development and reform,China's College English teaching has achieved good results.With the economic development and social progress,however,China's demand for talent has changed substantially.As a professional personnel training institution,colleges and universities are bound to make corresponding adjustments to this change. 1. The concept of practical talents What is practical talent?Many educators hold different views on this issue.But on one point,their views are consistent.That is,the talent trained by our higher education system should be close to the needs of society,enterprise,market.English itself is a very practical and strong course,but due to the disadvantages of traditional education and teaching,our higher English teaching has made remarkable achievements in theory when it comes to practical applications,they are woefully inadequate.Many scholars have followed and studied this phenomenon for a long time,carrying out bold reform and innovation both in theory and practice Many new models of education and teaching are put forward,one of which is the reform of training mode dominated by practical talents. After China's reform and opening up,especially after China's accession to the WTO,China's economy has been fully integrated into the overall pattern of the world economy.Under the current wave of economic globalization,it is impossible for any country to achieve long-term development in a closed environment.Now more and more enterprises go abroad and actively participate in the market competition.Against this backdrop,the demand for high-quality,specialized English speakers is surging.Every year,a large number of English majors enter the society,and it is an An indisputable fact that many students can not find jobs.On the one hand, there is an urgent demand for talents,on the other hand,a large number of English majors can not find jobs.This phenomenon seems 2019 International Conference on Arts, Management, Education and Innovation (ICAMEI 2019) Published by CSP © 2019 the Authors 1005 contradictory, but it has deep roots One of the most important reasons for this is that there is a serious disconnect between our approach to talent development and the direction of talent demand.Many students graduate from school with excellent grades,but once they start working,they realize that English is for use,not for examination.Many students are also very confused that why schools inside the training mode,assessment mode and social,and the existence of the employing unit is very different.This is a social phenomenon worthy of in-depth study, an educational phenomenon. 2. Analysis of the reasons for the lack of training of practical talents. The demand for such a strong social demand for practical talents,then what causes the lag in training of practical talents?This is a complex issue that can not be fully explained in a word or two.But generally speaking,the lack of practical talents training in China's universities can be attributed to the following reasons: 2.1 The concept of personnel training is backward For a long time,there has been a big deviation in our understanding of the cultivation of college English talents,and the concept of personnel training is behind. When we look at a student,we look only at the student's current situation,and rarely at the student's future social development and personal prospects.Many people even think of English simply as a foreign subject,without equating it with social and interpersonal communication.It is true that English itself has the attribute of knowledge,but the social attribute and communicative attribute of English are the essential attribute of English.Colleges and universities should be a convergence of the most cutting-edge teaching ideas and the latest information platform,but China’s university platform rarely has an open mind.Many of US still follow the traditional model of teaching in colleges and universities,where the teacher is the center and the students are the audience.In the curriculum teacher speaks blindly,the student imitates blindly and studies.This educational teaching method has become the biggest obstacle to the development of discipline construction.It is hard to imagine that in such a mode of education and teaching, our goal of talent cultivation can be smoothly realized.It is difficult to arouse students' enthusiasm and interest in learning,and even counterproductive in some cases.The traditional mode of education and teaching in many places still have great room for survival,the existence of this phenomenon should first from our ideological roots to find the reason. 2.2 The overall quality of teachers is not high Teachers are the organizers and implementers of education and teaching.Does the current overall quality of our college English teachers correspond to the requirements of the teaching tasks?Is it compatible with the goal of talent training?This is a question we should ask ourselves.Many of our college English teachers have made great achievements in English majors,but English is a complicated social science.English learning includes not only the knowledge of English itself,but also the social knowledge,humanistic knowledge,communicative knowledge and so on.Whether our teacher quality can undertake such education teaching request?The answer to that question is obvious.At present,the problem of the overall low quality of college English Teachers has become a prominent problem to be solved in the course construction of college English.In addition,many of our college English teachers have strong professional knowledge,but lack of teaching skills,they are full of knowledge,but feel unable to perform in teaching.The reason is that many of our college English teachers are graduates of English majors.They are not from a normal university.They have no practical experience on how to carry out education and teaching,but only have a cavity
