1 Introduction
The Status Quo Exploration will provide the reality basis for improving English major students' English teaching and guiding the future English teaching with new concept of learning method such as "Internet +" teaching modes. CAO?Meng-yue,?LI?Dan?and?WANG?Jun(2020), believe that artificial intelligence has brought new opportunities to college English teaching with the rapid integration of information technology and English courses. The combination of "Internet +" and English teaching is an inevitable trend. LI Hong-ye(2004) put forward that the teacher how to appropriately use technology to find the best point of classroom teaching and information technology, whether it could through the new teaching mode, learning concept and study means to make the English major students' learning quality effectively, will has great significance for English major students to study English teaching method based on this in the future.
2 "Internet+" and ELT Problems
2.1 Systematization and Continuity
First of all, the fragmentation of the education industry makes it difficult to form a unified market. As CHEN Zhiwen(2014)said, even the Internet, which can integrate the industry, cannot systematize the education market. Secondly, from the perspective of learners, the combination of "Internet +" and ELT also suffers from a lack of systematization and continuity. Thirdly, most universities do not have a mature organization for the combination of "Internet +" and English teaching. Without the power of university, both teachers and English majors have less strength to promise combining the "Internet＋" and ELT systematically and enduringly.
2.2 Faculty Conditions
College English lecturer is accustomed to traditional English teaching methods. When they face emerging technologies, their learning speed is not so fast as young people. So few university lecturers are equipped with the combination of "Internet＋" and ELT for teaching.
2.3 Resources Allocation Problems
ELT has insufficient web-based teaching resources in universities. LARA Sonia(2006) announced that Most departments cannot afford to invest aggressively in the technical support necessary to sustain a project with high-quality technology.
3 "Internet+" ELT Strategy Conclusions and Suggestions
3.1 To Teacher Education Institutions
Universities need to provide research conditions for the combination of ELT and "Internet +" for lecturers. Creating an academic environment for lecturers can improve the lecturers' relevant teaching and research ability, and help the courses keep up with The Times and innovate constantly. DHAWAN Shivangi(2020) addresses the reliability and full availability of the ICT infrastructure. One of the advantages of the combination of "Internet +" and English teaching is that learning resources are abundant and easy to obtain.
3.2 To ELT English Majors
Although "Internet +" has brought great convenience to English teaching, English majors should establish the concept of information technology serving the classroom content, and should not ignore the knowledge itself in the process of pursuing new technologies, new models and new methods. As what LI Hongye(2004) once said, "In the classroom, principles of instruction always govern the choice and use of technology."
When ELT is combined with the Internet, English majors should always focus on the learning content, strive to achieve the learning goal, and use Internet technology and resources as auxiliary tools to improve the learning effect.
The ability of information retrieval is an important strategy for ELT students. Once the combination of "Internet +" and ELT is realized, the vast amount of ELT-related resources will cause difficulties for learners in choosing.
