In recent years, with the deepening of education reform, private colleges and universities have made great efforts as well as progress in English teaching. Teachers’ level, teaching management and students’ attention to English are gradually increasing. However, due to the poor source of students and other reasons, it is difficult for the traditional evaluation mode to improve students’ interest in English learning. This paper is mainly to establish an effective UPP assessment mode, namely Unit Project Portfolio, for English learning according to the actual teaching practice in private colleges and universities, to study its impact on the learning ability of English learners, to make a thorough study of the current teaching of UPP assessment mode in English teaching, and to discuss its significance and limitations.
