Abstract

As a basic education subject in colleges and universities, English has a direct impact on the effectiveness of teaching due to its strong practicality and dependence on context. Because of the changes in the development of the times, the requirements of English classroom teaching have also changed, and the traditional full-teaching mode can no longer achieve the teaching goals required by the syllabus. Experiential pedagogy, as one of the innovative teaching modes that are the focus of today's research, has been verified by researchers through trial and error and found to have real advantages in language teaching. Therefore, there is a practical necessity for the implementation of experiential pedagogy in university English education and teaching. In this article, I will collect and analyze the existing literature to explore the differences between the experiential teaching method and traditional teaching in university English, based on the concept and advantages of experiential teaching, and combined with the current objectives of English teaching, I will explore the specific measures of this teaching method in English teaching to stimulate the student's interest in learning and to improve the effect of teaching in English classroom.
