The construction of the new liberal arts affirms the importance of the English literature curriculum and also inspires people to re-evaluate the potential and unique value of English poetry teaching. English poetry is the material for the cultivation of students’ patriotism. Its condensed space contains multi-disciplinary knowledge, its long history makes it bear rich cross-cultural information, its beautiful language helps improve students’ aesthetic and creative ability and its dialectical thinking stimulates students’ critical thinking. English poetry teaching is an effective way to cultivate international compound talents with Chinese feelings required by the new liberal arts construction for applied undergraduate English majors.
