A Study on Blended Teaching based on Rain Classroom : Taking the Teaching Practice of "Japanese for Non-Japanese Major Students" as an Example

Abstract

"Blended Teaching" is the main trend of higher education nowadays. With the analysis on the blended teaching, this paper presented a primary research on it based on Rain Classroom in the teaching practice of "Japanese for non-Japanese major students". Rain Classroom is a teaching tool developed by Tsinghua University. The computer and mobile terminals of Rain Classroom directly serve teaching. Computer terminal is mainly used for data collection, storage, analysis and decision-making in teaching, while pre class preview courseware and MOOC video as well as exercises are sent to the mobile terminal, from which students can learn the relevant content. It helps students break through the limitation of time and space in their study and enhance their interest in learning. With the help of Rain Classroom, multiple modes of online teaching, classroom real-time answer, barrage interaction, extracurricular online discussion, as well as learning evaluation grade can be established to provide a feasible solution for blended teaching in the teaching practice of Japanese for non-Japanese major students.
