Abstract

The teaching of English majors in Colleges and universities should be based on textbooks. At the same time, it should also extend and expand wide range of knowledge appropriately. If you as an English teacher can select useful and interesting content, which can not only improve the effectiveness of classroom teaching, but also help stimulate students' interest in self-study. "New Writing", a magazine popular in the 1940s, has attracted a large number of young readers and received high praise from the educational circles at that time. Its contents were close to reality, time-sensitive, knowledgeable, well-connected with China and the West, carrying forward patriotism, attaching importance to moral education, guiding interaction and stimulating interest. Taking history as a mirror, the focus of the selection of New Writing’s content still has important practical significance for the teaching of English majors today.
