Abstract

In the era of "New Liberal Arts," the reform and development of foreign language majors face both opportunities and challenges. Only by seizing this opportunity and implementing reforms with a mindset of integration and innovation can English majors cultivate versatile talents that meet the demands of the times. This article, taking Jingdezhen Ceramic University's English major as an example, explores and reflects on how to reform the English major and cultivate versatile talents in line with the demands of the era. The exploration covers aspects such as philosophy and characteristics, curriculum design, textbook development, student practice and innovation entrepreneurship, as well as faculty structure adjustments, all within the broader context of the "New Liberal Arts" construction. It is hoped that this exploration will provide insights for the reform of English majors in other ceramic-related higher education institutions.
