Abstract

At present, most universities and colleges in China have enrolled students majoring in Less Commonly Taught Languages, which refer to languages except English. English as a lingua franca has been recognized by people all over the world. Therefore, students majoring in Less Commonly Taught Languages have to learn English as well. In order to improve these students’ English level, many universities and colleges stipulate that graduates of Less Commonly Taught Languages have to pass certain English tests upon graduation, such as CET4 or CET 6, which are the authoritative tests in China. This paper discusses how to cultivate these Less Commonly Taught Languages majors’ English proficiency and proposes several suggestions in regarding to the requirement and setup of English courses as well as the building up of internet courses, in the hope of offering some beneficial perspectives of English teaching in the future.
