Abstract

In order to cultivate applied talents required for social and regional economic development, in 2014, the state proposed that some undergraduate colleges and universities should be guided to transform into technology-applied universities. Then, in 2015, the English Language Teaching Advisory Board under the Ministry Education Ministry issued College English Teaching Guide, which clarified the orientation and nature of college English curriculum. Therefore, it is imperative to reform college English curriculum. Curriculum reform begins with teaching, while teaching cannot be realized without teaching materials. Therefore, it is urgent to compile college English teaching materials which are suitable for the cultivation of technology-applied undergraduates. The author believes that, in order to design excellent college English teaching materials in the new period, we must first determine the principles of teaching material compilation which should conform to the national development strategies and the standards of higher education reform; then we need to work on the designing ideas of teaching material compilation, which should combine instrumentalism with humanism; afterwards, college English teaching materials should be edited on the basis of students' job orientations, in order to improve students' working abilities and employment competitiveness. College English teachers can participate in the compilation. We also need to develop open college English teaching materials and establish data service platform.
