The wide application of big data not only provides convenience for the teaching between teachers and students, but also plays a great role in the education and training of college students. However, how to cultivate students' ability to learn English independently in the current era remains to be studied. Under the background of big data, it is very important for today's education to make effective use of this technological advantage to explore scientific and reasonable strategies, stimulate college students' attention to English autonomous learning, and explore the learning process. Investigating the value of specific big data technology is also an important consideration in this study. At the same time, graduate students who are not English majors usually have fewer English courses, and students' English level is also very different. Therefore, we should also pay attention to improving students' oral English ability and pay special attention to the cultivation of students' self-discipline and autonomous learning ability.
