  ABSTRACT: Nowadays, in college English class, there always exists a problem that no matter how much teachers inspire and induce students, they always remain silent and unwilling to speak, which means they have low or even no willingness to communicate. The fundamental reason lies in the lack of communicative confidence due to their low communicative competence. Based on this dilemma, a series of measure are put forward, namely, updating educational concepts, establishing a good teacher-student relationship, implementing student-centered education, and arousing integrative orientation. Hopefully, after the carrying out these measures, college English student’s willingness to communicate can be developed to gain a more comprehensive second language acquisition.
