    Abstract:

    Double first-class university program aims to cultivate high-level talents with international vision and competence, providing an important support to the development of first-class subjects. Conventional English courses usually follow the entire foreign teaching system and render some drawbacks, such as late updates and insufficient depth. Chinese professional courses are generally hard with limited breadth, giving rise to weakness in practical application for students. In view of these, this paper presents a case study on the English course of engineering materials at Chongqing University. It explores the teaching innovations, seeks the balance between Chinese and English courses, stimulates the learning interests of students, and eliminates the language conversion habits. The paper analyzes and discusses the novel approaches for international high-level talents education. The course is part of a joint program between Chongqing University, China and University of British Columbia, Canada for undergraduate students, which has been conducted for a total of 6 semesters. Till date, 23 students have been offered to study in University of British Columbia under the program, and 21 among them have graduated with excellent grades, and over 90% of them have continued their postgraduate studies in QS Top 50 global renowned universities.
