Factors Affecting College Students' Autonomous English Learning Ability and Strategies for Improvement

Autonomous learning is one of the advocated learning methods in a learning-oriented society and is also a requirement for reform in college English teaching. A semester-long investigation was conducted on non-English major college students' autonomous English learning, involving a series of studies with a questionnaire survey of 120 second-year non-English major students at a certain university. The results indicate that the current level of autonomous English learning ability among college students is still relatively low. Moreover, individual English proficiency, the class environment, and the amount of time spent on English learning outside of class significantly affect this ability. Therefore, universities should strengthen the reform of college English teaching, promote a shift in teachers' teaching concepts, and focus on enhancing students' self-efficacy. Additionally, improving students' motivation levels and appropriately extending the time for completing assignments outside of class are necessary to enhance college students' autonomous learning ability.

Research on Innovation in College English Teaching Based on Ideological and Political Education Integration

With the acceleration of globalization and the deepening of higher education reforms in China, the importance of college English teaching has become increasingly prominent. However, traditional English teaching models often neglect the significance of ideological and political education. To address this issue, the concept of ideological and political education (known as "curriculum ideology and politics") has gradually been integrated into college English teaching, aiming to enhance students' overall competence through the organic combination of course content and ideological elements. This study analyzes the current status of curriculum ideology and politics in college English teaching, explores its feasibility and necessity, and reveals issues such as the theoretical and practical contradictions and insufficient teaching resources present in current teaching practices. Based on these challenges, this paper proposes innovative strategies for integrating ideological and political elements into English teaching, including the integration of ideological elements and the innovation of teaching methods, with the aim of providing theoretical support and practical guidance for the reform and development of college English teaching.

Exploring the Reform of College English Teaching from the Perspective of New Liberal Arts

Abstract The construction of new liberal arts requires college English teaching to introduce new concepts, utilize new technologies, and promote students’ effective learning through the intersection of disciplines and curricula, to cultivate integrative talents with innovative and practical abilities. Under the perspective of new liberal arts, this paper integrates deep commonality and uniqueness knowledge mining multimodal clustering, DCUMC algorithmic model and multimodal teaching means to construct a multimodal analysis model framework and reform the English teaching model in colleges and universities. In addition, the information entropy is used to improve the ID3 algorithm to construct multidimensional evaluation indexes for college English teaching, and the improved ID3 algorithm is used for data mining of multidimensional evaluation so that teachers can adjust the teaching progress and difficulty according to real-time and accurate feedback information. Experiments are conducted on multimodal teaching mode and teaching evaluation, and the experimental results show that compared with the traditional teaching mode, the average scores of multimodal English teaching mode after five months are 96 and 85, which is an improvement of 11 points, 69.58%, 67.93%, 56.25%, and 53.79% higher in the ratio of excellent and good evaluations, respectively. Compared to the single teaching evaluation, the multidimensional evaluation points out that the traditional teaching mode needs more designer-student interaction as well as a reduction in the difficulty of the teaching content. In conclusion, the multimodal English teaching model can effectively improve teaching effectiveness and is implementable.
