The paper mainly discusses the methods to cultivate English majors in school to be qualified foreign trade talents. It is composed of three sections. The first section mainly analyzes the present situation of the foreign trade quality of English majors in school. The most obvious problem is that students can’t connect English well with foreign trade knowledge. The second section shows the qualifications for qualified foreign trade talents. Only those students who have comprehensive ability can become qualified foreign trade personnel. The third section mainly researches the methods to cultivate qualified foreign trade talents. For this purpose, both universities and students should take their responsibility. Universities should change the traditional teaching methods and adopt modern ones, such as the heuristic teaching method and situational teaching method. Besides, establishing long-term out-of-school practice base and carrying out double academic degrees system are also necessary. For English majors, they can improve their ability from four aspects——cultivating interpersonal relationship, training negotiation skills, joining the students’ societies at school, and making career project.
