Study on the Innovation of Students' Practical Link in College English Teaching based on Liberal Education

As a universal language of communication, the importance of English is self-evident. English education and teaching in colleges and universities of our country started earlier. After these years of continuous development, it has made considerable achievements in many aspects. However, there are some drawbacks in English teaching and learning in Chinese colleges and universities. With the promotion of liberal education, some of the drawbacks in college English teaching have even become the bottleneck of the healthy development of college English teaching and learning. The lack of attention to the students' practice is one of the outstanding problems in the teaching process. This paper makes a brief research on the innovative methods of students' practice in college English teaching based on the background of liberal education. English education and teaching in China's colleges and universities started early,and has formed a relatively perfect system.After years of continuous exploration and development,English teaching in colleges and universities of our country has made remarkable achievements in some aspects. While we see the results,we can't ignore the problems.Some of these problems are universal,while others are specific. For example,students' practical ability is not strong,and this problem is a common problem in higher education in our country.Although some changes have been made in recent years, the changes are more concentrated in science and Engineering and arts majors.This problem is still very prominent. 1. Analysis of the reasons for the weakness of students' practice in college English Teaching The problem of attaching importance to theory but ignoring practice has been puzzling the healthy development of higher education in China for a long time.There are profound historical and objective reasons for the existence of this issue.As far as I am concerned,the main factors contributing to this situation are: 1.1 Discrepancies in understanding For a long time,we seem to have a special preference for theoretical knowledge.Since the introduction of English teaching in colleges and universities,we have attached great importance to the students' study of English theoretical knowledge.Whether in the curriculum design,or in the textbook configuration,you can see the traces of this idea.Even today,many teachers and parents still 2019 International Conference on Arts, Management, Education and Innovation (ICAMEI 2019) Published by CSP © 2019 the Authors 1052 have a very one-sided understanding of English.They consider the English grammar and basic knowledge of English to form the most basic elements of the English knowledge system.To learn English well,students must learn English theoretical knowledge.This view is very wrong to understand from the whole.The reason why we say that it is wrong is not that the theoretical knowledge of English is not important.On the contrary,we think that English theoretical knowledge is an important part of English knowledge.But English knowledge and English ability constitute a scientific whole,rather than simply a patchwork of factors.While we attach importance to the learning of English theoretical knowledge,we can not neglect the cultivation of students' practical ability.The communicative nature of English itself determines that English is a highly practical course,and the study of theoretical knowledge alone is not enough to support the integrity of the whole English system.At the same time,we must also see,the English practice link regarding the student grasps the English theory knowledge to have the huge promoter action.The two should complement each other,and promote each other,only because of our understanding of the deviation led to the separation of the two. 1.2 The deficiency of teachers 'ability and quality The teacher is engaged in the education teaching the most key factor,and is also the education teaching development front.Under the current college system,most of our college English teachers are English majors,and few of them have participated in English practice in their own learning process.At the same time,Since education and professional learning are not the same thing in themselves,many college English teachers have such a confusion in education and teaching that they have very strong English professional knowledge,but they always feel full of butterflies in education and teaching.I can't fly,there is a sense that talent can not be developed.The main reason for this phenomenon is that normal universities mainly train students' teaching ability,and English universities mainly let students learn professional knowledge.It is the reason of this kind of system that causes the English teachers in colleges and universities in our country to be generally lack of ability to organize students to carry out practical work.In recent years,due to the reasons of knowledge or funds,there is not enough effort in the two aspects of teacher retraining and re-study.Many teachers have not significantly improved their ability and quality since they set foot on the job.Cultivating students' practical ability and strengthening the practical link of college English learning have very strong requirements for curriculum design,curriculum organization ability,etc.Regrettably,There is a big gap between the comprehensive competence of our college English teachers and the requirements of this work. 1.3 Lack of practical measures How to improve the English practice ability of college students,the simplest and most effective way to improve college students' English practice ability is to let them participate in social practice extensively.Social practice is a broad concept.In some ways,any social activity that can let students participate in and exercise their English language ability can be called social practice.But there is a question of good results.How to improve students' English application ability and practice efficiency is not only an educational problem,but also a social problem.The solution of this problem needs the common concern and joint efforts of the whole society.Generally speaking,the practical measures and approaches of college students' English learning are very limited.In recent years,the issue has been gradually attached importance to by all sectors of society.
