An Effective Neutrosophic Approach for Group Decision-Making in College English Teaching Quality Evaluation

Abstract

College English holds great importance in Chinese universities as one of the 
largest, most influential, and highly regarded foundational courses. Despite significant 
progress in reforming college English teaching (CET), its effectiveness has faced 
widespread criticism. To ensure and enhance the quality of CET, it is essential to explore 
the establishment of a quality evaluation mechanism. One such mechanism is the multiple
attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) approach. Recently, the Exponential TODIM 
(ExpTODIM) and TOPSIS techniques have been employed to address MAGDM challenges. 
To capture uncertain data during the evaluation process, interval neutrosophic sets (INSs) 
are administrated as a valuable tool. This study introduces the interval neutrosophic 
number Exponential TODIM-TOPSIS (INN-ExpTODIM-TOPSIS) approach to address 
MAGDM using INSs. Eventually, a numerical study for CET quality evaluation is 
administrated to validate the INN-ExpTODIM-TOPSIS approach for evaluating the 
quality of CET.
