Abstract

In the context of accelerating globalization, English has become the dominant foreign language in the curricula of educational institutions in China, basically because it serves as the communicative means for global political, cultural and economic exchanges. In such an environment, the curriculum for English majors attracts the attention of many people and improving the curriculum is an efficient method of promoting satisfactory learning outcomes. The present essay proposes an innovation that integrates project-based learning throughout the curriculum and adopts the new technology of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) when implementing the program. Such a curriculum will provide the chance for students to receive and produce information comprehensively so as to learn and recycle knowledge in real life situation. It also has the valuable function of promoting student autonomy.
