Abstract

In recent years, there has been a lot of overseas research on the applied theatre teaching method, especially the research on integrating applied theatre into English teaching in primary and secondary schools has attracted continuous attention. However, there are relatively few studies in Mainland China on applied theatre. Few professors studied the application of English teaching with applied theatre, but they always stop at the primary and secondary stage, lacking penetration into higher education. Moreover, there are problems such as arbitrariness and formalization of English education with applied theatre in practice. Therefore, the English curriculum construction of college English teaching in Mainland China is necessary and meaningful. This paper, which is based on the research and practice of applied theatre at home and abroad, discusses the curriculum mode from the four dimensions of objective, content, implementation and evaluation, and puts forward the three modes and construction principles of college English education with applied theatre.
