The fact that an English learning program is provided to equip college students with English skills poses several problems since every university, even every non-English department, likely has its own system. One solution is to provide an acceptable material that is arranged based on the language that needs to be acquired. In order to solve the problem of supporting the English learning process in college, this research aims to produce a learning model for the novice level, i.e. college general English. The general English course is needed to provide the students with college English before academic English. Thus, the problem discussed in this study is what is the acceptable product of the text-based college general English? The researcher employed ADDIE model for the instructional design. The researcher also adopted Borg’s and Gall’s R&D model as the research methodology. The final result was a course book named College Just Ahead. This book consists of five units, which has two or three sub-units in every unit. The result showed that the product was acceptable by the mean score above 4.00 out of 5. Therefore, when it is completed, the course is more transferable.

Blended learning, which is proved to have a promising future, has incomparable advantages in learning and teaching practice. Taking English Department of North China Electric Power University as a case, the status quo of blended learning in college English learning and teaching has been investigated by adopting questionnaires and interviews. The results show that although both students and teachers have rigid demand for blended learning, the satisfactory degree is low. Implications and suggestions are further given to make improvement in terms of multimedia application, teachers, students and managers. By taking both students and teachers into consideration, a comparatively complete description of the status quo of blended learning in English Department of NCEPU has been formed, which set a good example for other departments and at the same time motivates the whole school to update their learning and teaching patterns.
