d controlling the classroom, but they ignore the importance of students’ subjective positions. Most teachers spend much time in explaining, but they seldom give students enough time and space to practice their English; students have few opportunities to go to the platform, so their courage and interest decrease. And most teachers seldom lead students to learn English by themselves, and help them to master the correct study methods, they only infuse knowledge into them, and they can’t motivate their interest in learning English. Thus, it is difficult for them to improve their English comprehensive application abilities.
B. The Neglect of Cultivation of Students’ Interest
To stimulate and keep the students’ interests in learning college English is a important aim for the college English teaching, at the same time it should try its best to help the college students cultivate their interest. Einstein said that interest is the best teacher, and this tells us that interest is very important for us; it enables students to acquire plentiful knowledge. Moreover a Russian famous educationalist Ushinski indicated that the study which has no any interest will prevent students from pursuing the truth, so we can say that if we want to learn the college English well, we must have enough interest in it.

As teachers, they should try their best to foster students’ learning interest.
C. Mute English
Though we have made progress in English, mute English still exists in our country and many other Asian countries; as a result it seriously influences many countries’ developments of English level. In our country most students hardly link English learning with their future employment; they only take the present into account, so it causes many students only to repeat a lesson, accumulate the words, and to a great extent, they neglect the practice of oral English. Of course their oral English will become poorer, and they are not able to open their mouths to speak it freely. Mr. Zhang Yujin has studied English for nearly 70 years. Once said “Many students have learned English over 10 years, but nearly 90 percent of students can’t use it freely (translated).” According to the investigations, we find that most companies are not satisfied with students’ English comprehensive abilities, especially with their oral English, to be concrete, the companies deem that there are only 5 percent of students are good at oral English, but 37 percent of them are extremely poor in it. (Zou Yongzhen,1998.2). These college students can read, write, but they can not communicate with others in English. So they are incapable of making good use of English to improve t
