art students have insufficient motivation and interest in English learning. Therefore

the teaching effect of this course has been poor. There are many reasons for students’lack of interest in English

low learning efficiency and weak language output

which are related to traditional teaching strategies. Based on this special situation

more appropriate teaching strategies and teaching methods should be adopted for English teaching for them. On the basis of the practical teaching experience of college English for art students at the university

the author outlines some strategies that can improve college English teaching for art students from the perspective of humanistic education theory

for reference only.
