Abstract – This study explores the English language exposure, immersion, and development of Chinese English majors at Henan Normal University. With 410 participants, the research utilized a quantitative methodology. It found that students have moderate exposure to English in classroom and extracurricular settings, with extracurricular activities being more frequent. Various types of English immersion were beneficial, with class design and student participation being the most effective. English language development was generally at a medium level, with maximal English use and minimal student interactions in the reading environment. Age and English proficiency significantly influenced the results, with older students and TEM-8 passers showing superior performance. The study concludes with a proposed program to enhance English exposure, immersion, and development for Chinese English majors.
