Comments on College English Teaching and General Education from Multiple Perspectives

With the deepening of the reform of college English teaching(CET),more and more scholars argue about whether CET is general education(GE).On the basis of the retrospect of CET and GE,the author uses The College English Curriculum Requirements(2007) as theoretical basis,compares the connotations of GE to the contents of CECR,observes and studies the relationship between GE and CET from different perspectives including the purpose of CET,the course offered by CET,the contents of the teaching materials and the construction of the teachers' knowledge and finds out that CET is NOT general education and it cannot assume the responsibility alone to implement general education.
