The evolving demands of global communication necessitate innovative approaches in college English instruction. Traditional teaching models often struggle to engage students due to divergent thinking patterns, leading to reduced classroom efficiency. Despite increased attention to English education following curriculum reforms, an effective pedagogical strategy remains a critical gap. This study investigates the application of experiential teaching in college English, emphasizing practical activities that enhance language use in real-world contexts. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research examines its impact on students’ language proficiency, engagement, and learning outcomes. Findings reveal that experiential teaching significantly improves students' language skills and classroom participation. The study underscores the importance of integrating experiential methods into English curricula to foster effective learning and better prepare students for global communication.
