I. Current situation of College English mobile Learning

College English students foundation is irregular, assessment methods of College English is single, questions also follow the same pattern,they are unable to truly reflect the students' learning process; teaching is a very old continuation of the students listening and a teacher teaching , it is a single classroom teaching mode. These have a negative impact on the students' positive learning enthusiasm, and can not be used to test the students' ability of English application. In 2007, the Ministry of education, “College English Curriculum Teaching Requirements”, made it clear that “to establish the main position of the students in the teaching process, so that students can choose their own needs of the material toward the personalized and independent learning direction”.

II. the Feasibility of College English Mobile Learning

1. The Theoretical Basis: Eco-linguistics is an interdisciplinary field, which is based on the combination of ecology, linguistics and philosophy. It aims to explore language diversity and ecological diversity as well as the impact and role of language in environmental issues. Biological diversity is one of the basic characteristics of the earth, human beings should be peaceful coexistence with the surrounding biosphere, to protect the plants and animals around us. Language diversity, cultural diversity and biological diversity are the necessities of human survival .

They have a positive attitude towards mobile learning, because the combination of text, pictures, animation, audio and audio mode is more conducive to promoting college students' learning enthusiasm. And a seamless coverage of the whole society's large wireless network environment has been formed, the Internet + era to mobile learning provides a strong network security.

III. Enlightenment of ecological linguistics to College English mobile Learning

1. The interactive development of College English mobile Learning

The concept of ecological foreign language teaching considers English class as a unified dynamic variable system: teachers and students are in the development of the people and teaching activities is a conscious interaction between people, such as the relationship between teacher-student, the relationship between students and teaching materials, the relationship between teachers and students and teaching media technology, and other constraints, and it jointly create a college English teaching of green ecology.

2. The multi-evaluation of College English mobile learning

Mobile learning changes learners learning tool from the paper books to laptops and smart phones. Similarly, teacher marking tools also change from the red pen to computers and mobile phones. Spoken English, listening comprehension evaluation can use software dubbing, micro channel, QQ and other instant communication software, not only timeliness and easy to keep, repeated comparison and practice; reading, translation and writing assessment can use professional learning software, computer aided task allocation, access to information, to finish the exercises, self identification.

3. The autonomous learning of College English mobile Learning

Many universities use the multimedia network to carry on the independent teaching, at present this brand-new teaching mode has caused the great attention, like the micro class, the MOOCs make the network independent study to a new height. In order to achieve the effect of College English mobile learning, we must balance the use of various learning methods and evaluation methods in order to meet the requirements of the ecological system of language and its small ecology, that is , the students' individual language ability and the law of the ecological system, so that the students' language ability can not be unbalanced.
