Abstract

In recent years, there are some reforms in the CET-4, and the latest one in Dec. 2015 has made great changes in the listening test. These reforms change the CET-4 from a content-center test to an ability-center test. The aim of the reform is to cultivate students' comprehensive language application skills. This paper will discuss the existed problems in college English teaching, and the latest reform of CET-4, and give suggestions on how to meet the ability requirements of new CET-4. The concrete measures are: we must take students as the center in classroom teaching; use communicative approach to cultivate communicative ability; strengthen the feedback function of CET-4 on daily teaching; carry out the separation of teaching and testing, at last, we can use multi-media to enrich language environment to attract students' interests to learn.
