This paper reviews the theoretical and empirical studies on the undergraduate tutorial system of English majors within China in the new century. Three problems are found in earlier studies, namely, the obscurity in the inherent characteristics of the undergraduate tutorial system of English majors, the insufficiency in the applying studies to the learner training process which are based on the findings in learner training effect, the limitations in the uses of research methods. It is suggested that in future studies more work should be done on the inherent characteristics of the undergraduate tutorial system of English majors, on the applying studies to the learner training process which are based on the findings in learner training effect and from the historical or comparative point of view.
