The aim is to deeply understand the current situation of College English Teaching (CET). By consulting the theories of Deep Learning (DL) and Edge Computing (EC), this work designs a Questionnaire Survey (QS) to understand the current situation of college English learning and teaching. Then, Adaptive Deep Learning (ADL) and EC are introduced into CET. Finally, the corresponding conclusions and suggestions are drawn. Specifically, the purpose and time of college students' vocabulary learning are investigated. The results suggest that students' English vocabulary learning is shallow. They have not really mastered the meaning and usage of vocabulary. Simultaneously, teachers' vocabulary teaching methods are analyzed from three aspects: root affixes, vocabulary collocation, or repeated reading and memory. The teaching method is excellent from the teacher's perspective but far from perfect from the students' perspective. Introducing ADL and EC into CET enhances students' class concentration time, homework submission efficiency, and academic performance. More than half of the students believe that the new teaching method introducing ADL and EC can make them more confident and motivated in English learning. Therefore, it has great reference significance for applying ADL and EC in CET.
目的是深入了解大学英语教学（CET）的现状。通过参考深度学习（DL）和边缘计算（EC）的理论，本研究设计了一份问卷调查（QS）以了解大学英语学习和教学的现状。然后，将自适应深度学习（ADL）和EC引入大学英语教学。最后，得出相应的结论和建议。具体而言，调查了大学生词汇学习的目的和时间。结果表明，学生的英语词汇学习较为肤浅。他们并未真正掌握词汇的含义和用法。同时，从词缀、词汇搭配或重复阅读记忆三个方面分析了教师的词汇教学方法。从教师的角度来看，这种教学方法是优秀的，但从学生的角度来看却远非完美。将ADL和EC引入大学英语教学可提高学生的课堂专注时间、作业提交效率和学业成绩。超过一半的学生认为引入ADL和EC的新教学方法能让他们在英语学习中更有信心和动力。因此，这对于在大学英语教学中应用ADL和EC具有重要的参考意义。
