Research on the Current Situation of College English Courses for Applied Undergraduate Students

Abstract

In order to explore the current situation of the college English course for applied undergraduate students, taking the class I taught this semester as the research object, a student situation survey was carried out through the "Chaoxing" platform. Through this research, the following conclusions are drawn: art students have a weak foundation and insufficient autonomous learning, while liberal arts students have a better foundation and focus on practical needs. Common problems are mainly concentrated in difficulty in vocabulary memorization, weak listening skills and lack of scientific learning methods. Over 80% of the students have plans to take the College English Proficiency Test, and the main demand is to improve their listening and speaking skills. Based on this, I have made adjustments to my teaching this semester, optimizing it through strategies such as stratified teaching, scientific memory methods, and the connection with the content of the College English Test. This research provides a practical reference for adapting college English courses in application-oriented undergraduate programs to students' needs and enhancing teaching effectiveness.
