English education in China has become increasingly important as the rapid development of China s globalization. The first way to improve students English communication skills is college English courses, which are usually given in the first two years of a undergraduate program. These courses are necessary for improving students English communication skills for daily life but playing little role in improving their professional communication skills. The second way is the professional English courses, which provide students with the opportunities of learning engineering-related English, but the credit hours of those courses are very limited. The third way is bilingual or English teaching, which offer students the opportunities of not only learning career-related knowledge but also improving their professional English communication skills.
