Abstract

In this paper, following the characteristics and rules of English teaching, and by using pedagogical theory and the method of mathematical modeling we establish an Analytic Hierarchy Process model on the evaluation of quality-oriented education in college English teaching. And the computing results show that "classroom learning" is the most important, followed by "extra-curricular study", "English contests", "student research", "social practice", "teaching staff", "academic seminars", "teaching facilities", "community activities", which will be helpful to the reform of college English teaching.
