Abstract

The College English Teaching Guidelines (2020) (a guide for ordinary colleges and universities to formulate college English teaching syllabuses, and the main basis of English course teaching and course evaluation) offers new requirements for college English teaching. Advanced Listening and Speaking, as one essential optional course in the College English course group, aiming to improve students' English listening and speaking ability in class activities, should comply with this requirement to achieve the goal of good English language expression ability and cross-cultural communication ability. This course, has a more dynamic environment than other courses in the course group, which can help teachers find the problems to improve the students’ performance and create a better situation to cultivate students' language proficiency to meet the actual needs of the individuals, country, and society. Therefore, this study analyses the whole teaching process of Advanced Listening and Speaking course through teaching process under the guidance of Educational Ecology, in order to solve some problems like “classroom silence” and “poor language production” by analyzing the ecological factors and the ecological system of this course, and give suggestions by using four laws of educational ecology theory: the law of tolerance, the law of limiting factors, the niche theory, and flowerpot effect.
