Abstract

Individual factors play a significant role in language teaching and learning. However, the phenomenon still exists that cognition and individual differences are separated from each other in college English teaching in China, which attaches too much importance to cognitive side of language learning while neglecting the functions of individual factors. The paper first gives a brief introduction about the present status of language teaching in China. And then the theoretical background of the study is proposed. Afterwards, a detailed analysis is given in this paper about the influences that individual factors bring about on language learning and teaching. Finally, some suggestions are put forward on how to reduce the negative aspects of learners’ individual factors to strengthen the positive teaching effects.
