Abstract: In psychology,an attributional bias is a cognitive bias that affects the way we determine who or what was responsible for an event or action.But teachers′ attributional styles are not highly valued in college English teaching.By analyzing the rationales and manifestations of college English teachers′ attributional bias,this paper suggests effective strategies to help college English teachers make positive attributions so that they may promote their selfefficacy and teaching quality and create a good English learning environment for students as well.

Key words: attributional bias, college English teaching, attributional strategies, Twostep Process of Attribution, selfefficacy
