Throughout quick development of English teaching and learning in 30 years， English education has obtained conspicuous achievement， especially for the formulation of teaching program， achievement in the aspect of course system construction can not be neglected. As the same time when English teaching gradually becomes more important， the social voice on English teaching reform never ceases. The traditional classroom did not adapt to the rapid development of today's talent any longer， while development needs of the students， social demand and discipline development continue to impact the traditional teaching mode. English as the world's most used language， its teaching is center of whole world attention has been more meaningful than teaching itself. At the rapidly changing modern life， when the demand of people has become the dominant direction of social life and each social group stands demand of all walks of life， then what are the needs of the students？ What is the demand for English learners？ A series of problems haunt us， so here we will analyze demand of English major students by cognition， emotion， environment as below.

1. Cognition and needs of students

Cognition also named acknowledge refers to the process of cognition of external things， or the process of information dealing about external things acting on human's sensory organs. Undeniable is that there are some problems of English teaching in college， such as students interest in learning， slack attitude and few attention attached to the importance of English learning. The fact is that English teaching in China is mainly based on classroom comprises mostly by language knowledge， language training and cross-cultural literacy training， and supplements by more activities that aims to improve students' ability of using English， cross cultural literacy and humanistic quality by offering English literature， English culture and humanitarian courses in English. In fact， the fostering of cognition plays a very important role in improving students' learning consciousness.

2. Emotional attitude and needs of the students

In traditional teaching model， the teachers， as center of classroom， have the only role of teaching and their authority allows no doubt. The students task is to listen， write and answer. This kind of teaching pays mere attention to results， as long as the students remember contents but not actually achieve the real purpose of teaching， practically killing and destroying students' wisdom and personality. Because the needs of students received little attention， we need to take seriously the students as the main body of the emotional attitude and values. Student-centered compared to teacher-centered， emphasizes on study of the students， pays attention on learning oriented teaching so as to combine both organically. Its connotation is that teaching activities take the students' characteristics and social communication as objective basis， rather than in traditional teaching grammar as guiding principal and language teaching. In conclusion， classroom teaching is mostly comprised by students' activities and students are active learners. The ultimate and prime goal of language teaching is to cultivate students' intercommunication competence in written or oral form， the teaching quality is reflected in the ability of students to master and apply the knowledge. Because of this， students and learning activity is always the subject of teaching during the whole process of teaching.

3. The environment and needs of the students

The demand is different among students of English major and not. Environment is significantly important for English learners. English learning is a complex system， including on campus and outside， tangible and intangible， abstract and concrete. We could say that the elements of English learning environment is complex. English learning environment can be divided into internal and external， while the internal environment includes classroom， library， campus environment， etc， the external environment includes family， society and so on. Modern English teaching is under constant improvement， but traditional teaching mode could not be given up completely， since the choice depends on the practical domestic condition while applying the pedagogy. Traditional teaching emphasizes on explaining language points， grammar rules but pays few attention to expression and communication. Continue to learn dumb English could only lead to students with good grammar but poor expression in the actual language communication， that enables no conversation topic despite weather.
