Abstract: College English teaching, as a sub-part of humanity education, takes into account both improving students' ability in language application and upgrading their cultural quality. However, recent research on the current state of non-English majors' literary attainments has shown that the status quo of the literary education in college English teaching is quite gloomy. Based on the analysis of literary education's roles in college English teaching, this paper puts forward that teachers' beliefs on literary education should be strengthened, and suggests that different approaches to literary education should be harmoniously reintegrated into the college English classrooms.
