Abstract
The teaching mode of combining college English teaching with ESP (English for Special Purpose) teaching is put forward to combine college English courses with the majors that students study. It involves the following issues: 1. Setting different teaching objectives for different majors’ students; 2. Carefully designing syllabus; 3. Joint-teaching between college English teacher and professional teacher. The contribution of this paper is that the teaching mode, if it is put into practice, is useful to develop inter-disciplinary talents with “profession + foreign language”.
