Abstract

With the development of economic globalization, China put forward “the Belt and Road Initiative” creatively according to the current international situation. Under the background of globalization, in addition to promoting the economic development of the countries along the routes, cultural exchange is an important part of “the Belt and Road Initiative”. With the growing international communication, as a international language, English is playing an more and more important role. Colleges are the base of talents cultivation and English has become a compulsory course of the contemporary college students. Education should keep pace with the times, it will be difficult to adapt to the society's needs if it can’t gear to the development of the times. We should make English play an instrumental role instead of being an armchair strategist.
