  1. Overview
  College English Curriculum Requirements is a policy formulated by the experts organized by Chinese Ministry of Education and published by Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press in 2007. It is regarded as the main basis for universities to carry out English teaching for non-English major students in China. The main aim of this policy is to promote the reform of college English education, to improve the quality of English education in Chinese universities, and to meet the needs of talent cultivation in the new era in China.
