This paper takes the cultivation of critical thinking ability as the goal and explores the construction and application of the teaching model of college English based on subject knowledge. By reviewing the literature on the cultivation of critical thinking ability at home and abroad, a teaching model based on subject is proposed, which aims to improve students' English application level by cultivating their critical thinking, analytical ability and problem-solving ability. The article also verifies the model through teaching practice and explores its application effect in college English teaching.
