English newspapers not only conform to the laws of language teaching, learning and acquisition, but also can cultivate learners¡¯ interests and introduce them to a wonderful world beyond books and textbooks. Therefore, in the process of second language acquisition, it is particularly important to introduce newspaper reading into the classroom and cultivate students¡¯ autonomous reading of newspapers and magazines. At present, in terms of English reading, college students mainly rely on teachers¡¯ guidance and analysis in class, while extracurricular reading remains at the reading comprehension level. How to use English newspapers to improve college students¡¯ language literacy is a question that educators should further consider. China Daily has always been a choice by teachers and students because of its authoritativeness, interest and rich content. Therefore, based on Krashen¡¯s theory of ¡°language acquisition-learning hypothesis¡± and ¡°input hypothesis¡±, this paper analyzes the characteristics of ¡°China Daily¡± and further explores how to use China Daily to enhance students¡¯ interest in reading and promote the improvement of college students¡¯ language competence. %K Second Language Acquisition %K Acquisition-Learning Hypothesis %K Input Hypothesis %K China Daily %K Language Competence %U http://www.oalib.com/paper/6822935
