摘　　要：A brief review of the history shows that China’s educational pendulum has always swung between English as an important practical tool for China to connect with the world and English as a threat to Chinese language and culture.In recent years,China sees a rising concern over the declining of Guoxue,or the study of traditional Chinese culture,and the absence of Chinese culture in College English pedagogy.A survey conducted in South China University of Technology shows that even for non-English majors with good English competency,their ability to express local cultures in English is weak.However,despite some experts’calling for reducing the proportion of English in education,this paper holds that English should be restored to its place as a lingua franca and that the reform of College English education is urgent and desirable.The integration of Chinese culture into College English can be achieved by such ways as re-editing the“Syllabus”,renewing textbooks,improving teachers’competency,and revising the assessment methodologies.
