Taking 308 college students from a Chinese university as the subjects of the questionnaire, we investigated the respondents’ needs for current college English class, and found that the students generally hope to learn more traditional culture in classes. At the same time, the traditional culture covered by college English class is obviously insufficient. Most teachers teach based on textbooks, and the textbook content tends to introduce the culture of English-speaking countries, lacking cross-cultural comparison, and the course examination is also insufficient. Undergraduates’ full exposure to traditional culture-related content in English class will help them improve their comprehensive expression skills, strengthen their cultural confidence, and enhance their ability to spread local culture.
