Abstract:

In the past 20 years since the 21st century, English major has been faced with various criticisms from both inside and outside the discipline. Such criticisms have always existed and never stopped. On the one hand, this kind of criticism has played an important role in promoting the construction and development of the English major, while on the other hand, it has gradually turned its tide and entered into a mode of unfair blame, which accused the English major of being a profession without conscience, and put forward some suggestion to suspend the English major. This paper intends to argue against the unfair criticism of English major in recent years, pointing out that the English major cannot be viewed as a conscience-stricken major, to clearly distinguish the differences between English major and college English teaching, and its proposal to shut down the major or turn to the other majors is not the correct path of development. In addition, the normal academic discussion and communication should be attributed to the academic scope, rather than resorting to the media.
