Based on an English learning situation survey of grade 2024 students at Zhengzhou Business University, this study aims to gain an in-depth understanding of the students’ current English learning status, learning needs, and the challenges they face, thereby provides data support and theoretical foundations for optimizing college English teaching strategies. The research employs a questionnaire survey method, collecting the students’ opinions and analyzing their English proficiency, learning habits, learning motivations, and preferences for teaching models. According to the research data, which shows low English scores in the College Entrance Examination, a teacher-centered approach to English learning in high school with a lack of autonomous planning, and a diversified trend in students’ preferences for teaching models, teachers can understand students’ learning needs and characteristics better, and develop targeted teaching strategies to improve teaching quality and students’ learning outcomes. The study suggests meeting students’ diverse needs and enhancing their comprehensive English application abilities by optimizing curriculum design, reforming teaching methods, strengthening faculty development, and improving students’ autonomous learning capabilities. Future research can further explore learning situation analysis methods based on big data and artificial intelligence to promote innovation and development in college English teaching.
