Abstract

General education is an important part of education; it aims to cultivate students to be person and citizens of high responsibility. It is the product of combination between liberal education and American education. China's Higher Education of English is still facing many challenges. Liberal education provided enlightenment for the development of China's Higher Education of English. We should introduce a critical perspective when teaching English. As regard to the curriculum building, we should set up core curriculum containing literary classical and outstanding culture. English Teaching ought to create constructivist classroom which designed as student-centered. What remains an important task for us to solve is to return to the humanist tradition of English education.
