Cognitive Research on the Cultivation of Interdisciplinary Talents for English Majors in the New Liberal Art ——Based on the Learner's Perspective

Abstract

Previously, English major learning research and curriculum design were usually based on the perspective of teachers and educators, which were adjusted from top to bottom under the social needs. Although it is in view of social needs, it inevitably lacks the demands of English majors themselves. This research shifts the perspective to English majors, surveying the curriculum design from the perspective of English majors, collecting their career plans and demands through questionnaires, and using SPSS (Statistic Package for Social Science) to integrate and analyze the data, so as to take advantage of learners’ ideas to promote educational innovation. Different from the traditional top-down training scheme planning of discipline designers, it will be conducive to adding more practical effects to discipline design from bottom to top by exploring learners' cognitive degree of three factors— "New Liberal Arts", "English Major" and "Talent Training".
