In A Brief Analysis of Yuxi Dialect, Fu Chang makes a detailed explanation on dialects’ features and the value of its study. In The General Received Pronunciation of British English by Fengtong Chang, the author dealt with reasons why London English became standard English, and also elaborated on consonants and vowels in British English. Up to today no one has ever made a contrast between the two languages and further diminished the interference from dialect in English pronunciation learning of the Yuxi students. This paper is designed to make a contrast between the two languages: Yuxi dialect in Zhoucheng and Received Pronunciation; as well as the differences between their consonants and vowels respectively can be achieved to rectify the pronunciations’ deviation in English learning. It is intended to improve English teaching quality of Yuxi dialect speakers and enhance the pronunciation standardization of English there.

Under the background of the new era, great changes have taken place in the teaching mode of our country, and all kinds of creative teaching strategies emerge as the times require. In order to construct an efficient classroom and ensure the rational allocation and utilization of teaching resources, teachers must adhere to the central position of students in the process of carrying out classroom teaching practice, clarify the individual differences of students, and fully consider the influencing factors of various details from the point of view of students. In order to better promote the improvement of teaching quality and teaching level, to ensure that every student can learn something, learn to achieve success. However, combined with the relevant practical investigation, it is not difficult to find that long-term examination-oriented education leads to some teaching classics. In the course of carrying out the classroom teaching practice, the teacher who is not under test directly uses the learning of the basic knowledge of the simple theory as the main body, and puts the core energy in the indoctrination and the teaching of the theoretical knowledge, which seriously restricts the individual growth and development of the students, and ignores the individual difference of the students, The result is that the efficiency and quality of the classroom teaching are declining continuously, some of the teaching resources are wasted directly, which is especially obvious in the course of the practice of English teaching in colleges and universities. In this respect, this paper, based on the macroscopic angle, takes the college English teaching as the analysis object, and the relevant strategies and requirements to improve the English teaching quality, with a view to promoting the English teaching in colleges and universities, and provides some reference for the smooth development of teaching practice.

The efficiency of traditional English teaching quality evaluation is relatively low, and evaluation statistics are very troublesome. Traditional evaluation method makes teaching evaluation a difficult project, and traditional evaluation method takes a long time and has low efficiency, which seriously affects the school’s efficiency. In order to improve the quality of English teaching, based on machine learning technology, this study combines Gaussian process to improve the algorithm, use mixed Gaussian to explore the distribution characteristics of samples, and improve the classic relevance vector machine model. Moreover, this study proposes an active learning algorithm that combines sparse Bayesian learning and mixed Gaussian, strategically selects and labels samples, and constructs a classifier that combines the distribution characteristics of the samples. In addition, this study designed a control experiment to analyze the performance of the model proposed in this study. It can be seen from the comparison that this research model has a good performance in the evaluation of the English teaching quality of traditional models and online models. This shows that the algorithm proposed in this paper has certain advantages, and it can be applied to the practice of English intelligent teaching system.

The research conducts a questionnaire survey and interview on students' English learning beliefs and learning strategy in a particular college in Jiangxi province in order to have a better understanding of college students' English learning beliefs and learning strategy, and the results indicate that the learning beliefs of students is in a middle level, the mean of motivation expectation is the strongest, students overestimate learning difficulties, underestimate their own learning ability, and they have certain wrong beliefs on the understanding of the nature of learning; As for English learning strategy, students' using level is medium, compensation strategy is the most frequently used, and the least frequently used is the memory strategy and affective strategy. English learning beliefs and learning strategy are closely related; English learning beliefs and learning strategy are not correlated with English achievement respectively. Therefore, teachers should help students to establish correct learning beliefs, and pay attention to gender differences in English learning, enhance male students' self-confidence, encourage female students to enhance their confidence, and guide male students to use more memory strategy and social strategy in order to improve the quality of English teaching in normal universities. The purpose of this study is to better understand the English learning beliefs and learning strategy used by normal university students, and to provide some references for improving the quality of English teaching in universities.

Data continually act as a substantial role in business and industry for its daily activities to smoothly functional. The data volume is growing with the passage of time and rising of information technology. Using data mining techniques for quality evaluation and business English teaching is essential in the modern world. These technologies are introduced in the classroom, especially in online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. To analyze the quality of business English teaching, this paper uses multimedia and data mining technologies. Initially, the multimedia data are collected during classes, and the association rule recommendation algorithm using data mining is applied. Based on collaborative filtering algorithms in association rules, indicators for teaching quality evaluation in colleges and universities are set up. Next, the actual teaching data of a university is used. Taking business English as an example, the algorithm that has been built is tested. The application of the algorithm is tested, and the teaching process of College Business English is evaluated. Finally, the conclusion is drawn that data mining technology can describe the behavior of teaching well and evaluate it, and it has the potential of popularization.


The emergence of online education helps improving the traditional English teaching quality greatly. However, it only moves the teaching process from offline to online, which does not really change the essence of traditional English teaching. In this work, we mainly study an intelligent English teaching method to further improve the quality of English teaching. Specifically, the random forest is firstly used to analyze and excavate the grammatical and syntactic features of the English text. Then, the decision tree based method is proposed to make a prediction about the English text in terms of its grammar or syntax issues. The evaluation results indicate that the proposed method can effectively improve the accuracy of English grammar or syntax recognition.
