Conclusion

Based on the results of needs analysis and the analysis of the texts in the CCEIR，theauthor comes to the following conclusions:Firstly, the CCEIR can generally meet the needs of English majors. The degree ofmatching between the coursebooks and learners' needs is high and for English majors, thecoursebooks have strong applicability. Specifically, the layouts of the CCEIR are rational andcan generally meet students' needs. The selection of the discourses is diversified in topics andgenres, and can generally satisfy learners' needs for widespread cultures. The arrangement ofthe exercises covers the overall training of students，skills in reading, listening, speaking andwriting and follows the principle of advancing gradually in due order, which is in accord withlearners' needs.Secondly, the study also reveals that English majors have peculiar and strikingrequirements in English learning. Their motivations to learn English are pro-utilitarian, andare greatly influenced by their job plans. They tend to pay more attention to the practicabilityof English as a tool, and emphasize the learning in speaking, reading, listening and translating.They have high demands for the range of cultural background and the arrangement of theexercises.
