Next, it analyzes the particularity of the major itself through the close relationship with other subjects and the limitation of English major, then explores the benefits of taking multiple courses to English majors’ future development, and gives some suggestions for both students and colleges to solve this problem. Besides, this thesis writes from students’ standpoint and especially focuses on the necessities for English majors to take multiple courses, such as selective courses and practical courses.
