This paper first provides a brief historical overview of the development of college English teaching materials in China. Then by investigating studies on college English teaching materials for non-English major students from different perspectives, suggestions are proposed to provide guidance for effective ELT materials writing and evaluation: (1) Language corpora, providing empirical data concerning language usage, have a distinctive advantage in ELT materials writing and evaluation; (2) principles for ESP materials writing are developed; and (3) a systematic approach combining qualitative analysis with quantitative analysis to materials evaluation is suggested to ensure the validity and reliability of materials evaluation展开更多

Though in these sitcoms spoken English with full-filled humor is the main feature, there is still a long distance between real and Actors' lines. Through English spoken feature, we take American popular long sitcom "Friends" and "Big Bang" as the example, combined the analysis of real spoken language in the sitcom in order to dig out the suitability when we need to select appropriate teaching material.展开更多

This research explored the English texts linguistic characteristics in the authorized English textbooks through Coh-Melrix 3.0 and intended to provide implications to EFL English textbook design in the future. The results suggest that there is a need to be aware of the weaknesses and strengths from each other: the South Korean English texts display a diversity in noun, verbs, adjectives, the mean number of words before the main verb of the main clause in sentence, TTR and lexical diversity; the Chinese English texts reveal an overlap in lexical level (content words, noun, and sentences) and semantic level (syntactic patterns).展开更多
