College English teaching, as an important branch of philosophy and social sciences in colleges and universities, undertakes a more arduous educational task. To effectively enhance the educational effectiveness of college English, British and American literature can be skillfully integrated into college English classrooms. This can be achieved by deeply exploring the literary elements in textbooks, extending classic works to the second classroom, or setting up diversified activities to stimulate students’ interest in knowledge exploration. Students can draw inspiration from a wider range of literary works and establish correct values and value orientations during the learning process, thus facilitating their healthy growth.
