Abstract

Literary classics in the "instrumentalization-oriented" College English teaching have been largely marginalized. The new guide points out that college English curriculum should focus on strengthening students' communicative competence and improving students' personal quality and humanistic quality as well. In view of the lack of literary literacy of college students, this paper analyzes the current situation of classic reading education, points out the role of classic reading in college English teaching, and puts forward the ways to integrate western literary classic reading into college English classroom: recommending classic reading materials that meet the students' language level, organically combining college English materials and literary elements, and designing teaching activities related to western classics.
