- Abstract
General education is a type of educational model based on Aristotle’s free education thought. The goal of it is to provide interdisciplinary knowledge for students, supple professional education further and make it a complete person in current pluralistic society. As an indispensable part of general education, the goal of university English education is to improve students’ comprehensive English application ability, cultivate comprehensive cultural literacy and international communication ability, and make students cross-cultural exchange talents with international vision, familiar with international rules and able to participate in international affairs. This paper reviews the educational ideas and objectives of general education. Combined with the current situation of English education in Chinese colleges and universities, this paper combs the influence of general education on college English teaching, and puts forward the guiding strategies to improve college English education from three aspects: (1) Competency-based instructing system; (2) Combining language and cultural learning; (3) English in major studying.
