Abstract As an important part of the college curriculum, the English course has certain practical significance in the exploration of its curriculum construction. In this paper, we first constructed a teaching quality index system for English courses in colleges and universities, solved the weights of the indexes based on triangular fuzzy hierarchical analysis, and then introduced the theory of topology and simple correlation to improve the comprehensive fuzzy evaluation method for the assessment of the teaching quality of English courses. Finally, an empirical study is conducted to evaluate indicators at every level and their comprehensive quality. According to the study, the first-level indicators have the highest weight of 0.6016 for courses. The teaching quality of English courses in all 20 universities is good, with 53.34% of universities evaluating it as good or above. The teaching quality index of course B among the three English courses is the highest, 81.69. 90% of colleges and universities have received an evaluation grade of medium or above when teaching English courses. Among the indicators, curriculum, teaching, and teaching scholarship were rated as excellent. The evaluation of the course’s pioneering innovation, equipment support, and evaluability was very poor. Optimizing course content, equipment support, and course assessment can improve the quality of teaching English in higher education, according to this study.
