Abstract

This study discusses the application value and necessity of experiential teaching method in English classroom teaching in Chinese universities. Based on experiential teaching method, this study focuses on 40 non-English major sophomore students from a university in China. The translation section of the College English Test Band 4 (CET-4) is used as cultural input material to design specific teaching activities for introducing Chinese culture in English classroom teaching at the university level. Combining specific teaching designs, the advantages of applying experiential teaching method in university English classrooms are proposed, such as optimizing and innovating teaching modes, creating diverse teaching situations for teaching, exercising students’ language proficiency, enriching and optimizing teaching content, and breaking the traditional teaching mode of ‘spoon-feeding’ and increasing the frequency of interaction between teachers and students.
