Further biography characteristics analyses for different individuals on the four dimensions of the network forced addiction, tolerance, and time management and interpersonal relationship and health, show that there are significant differences in grades, gender with different education levels of their parents. Further researches on discrepancy that addicted groups have in network entertainment addiction, network information, cyber porn, network relations and network transactions addictions also illustrate that significant discrepancies exist in gender, net age, different discipline and other factors. Finally we put forward some correlative measures to solve the problems of college students network psychology from individuals, schools, and society levels.展开更多

In this process, the teaching of professional courses in English (ie, professional English teaching) as many universities of international teaching methods. However, the research on the implementation of English teaching has not yet been fully carried out. In order to fill this vacancy, this article mainly takes the students who participated in the English course of Jiangsu University as the research object, through the questionnaire survey and individual interview way reveals the problems, difficulties and challenges in professional English teaching, and tries to propose the corresponding solution Teaching methods, so as to provide constructive suggestions for teaching management departments, teachers and students to implement professional English teaching and improve the efficiency of English teaching.
