Practical Teaching Strategies for College English Based on the Output-Driven Hypothesis

Abstract

With the continuous development and innovation of higher education in China, the development trend of education, from the extension type to the connotative type, is prompting the reform of college English. At present, college English emphasizes more on students’ comprehensive English application skills and their comprehensive development in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, so that they can use English flexibly. The output-driven hypothesis is a teaching theory proposed in the current educational environment, which is devoted to solving many problems in English teaching, such as low efficiency and the separation of learning and application. This study makes a detailed analysis of the connotation of output-driven hypothesis and explores the problems existing in current college English teaching. The purpose of this paper is to put forward practical teaching strategies for college English under the concept of output-driven hypothesis.
