Abstract
This paper aims to optimize the design of individualized classroom teaching for mobile English learning in colleges, and find a scientific and effective English teaching mode and strategy for mobile learning. For this purpose, the application and evolution of mobile learning in English teaching was investigated, and the concept and theoretical bases of mobile learning were introduced in details. Through literature review, questionnaire survey and face-to-face interview, the status of mobile English learning among college students was analysed qualitatively and quantitatively from three dimensions, namely, the mobile device, learning resource and learning attitude. Then, several strategies for individualized teaching reform were presented through status analysis. Finally, the application of individualized mobile English learning was demonstrated through case studies on public platforms like Weibo and WeChat. The research findings shed new light on the individualized English learning among college students and lay a scientific basis for the application of mobile learning in college English education.

Summary
With the deepening of global integration, English has become an important tool for information exchange in various fields between different countries. In China, the classroom teaching mode has been adopted by most universities for English education. This teaching mode fails to provide desirable results, because it cannot teach the students according to their aptitude and provides little chance for learners to practice the language [2]. Since its introduction to China in 2000, mobile learning has been extensively studied from various perspectives. Some scholars explained this concept in light of distance education and considered it as the main direction of future learning [3]. The domestic studies on mobile learning have emphasized the basic theories over the classroom design, technology development and actual application of mobile learning [4]
