Abstract

Under the grand background of the construction of neo-agriculture education, what’s the direction of college English reform in agricultural universities in border provinces of China? To answer this question, the author conducted a need analysis of EAP in Yunnan Agricultural University, finding that there are large differences of undergraduates’ perception of EAP between in China’s top universities and in agricultural universities in border provinces, mainly about the present English level, the learning aims of college English, academic awareness and the academic norms. Despite their weak English foundation, undergraduates in agricultural universities in border provinces subjectively recognize the necessity and importance of EAP. At the end of the article, the author proposes several practical suggestions about the EAP course design in agricultural universities in border provinces.
