Abstract

With the acceleration of globalization, the importance of English as an international lingua franca has become increasingly prominent. Linguistics, as an essential component of the English major curriculum, provides students with tools for a deeper understanding of linguistic phenomena at a theoretical level while cultivating their language application skills in practice. However, the current curriculum often emphasizes theory over practical application. This paper aims to explore a teaching model that combines linguistic theory with practice by systematically designing teaching objectives, content, methods, and resources to enhance students' comprehensive abilities. The research results show that this teaching model effectively improves students' mastery of linguistic knowledge and practical application skills, increases their interest and motivation in learning, and provides a reference for future improvements in English major courses.
