Abstract

Comprehensive English is one of the fundamental courses for English majors and it aims at cultivating students’ basic English skills, and laying solid foundation for higher grades. However, the current teaching mode cannot fulfill the needs of the information era any longer due to its old teaching materials and traditional teaching methods. This paper tries to explore the blended teaching mode from three stages—pre-class, in-class and post-class based on the Internet+ background to stimulate students’ autonomous learning ability, improve their language competence and comprehensive attainment.

Highlights

With the development of English education and the progress of modern educational technology in China, it is the current trend to explore a blended teaching mode based on network and classroom teaching
The blended teaching mode combines the advantages of traditional teaching methods with the advantages of network characteristics, which gives full play to the leading role of teachers in guiding, inspiring and monitoring the teaching process, and fully embodies the initiative, enthusiasm and creativity of students as the main body of the learning process (Lin, 2017)
This paper carries out the teaching practice of integrating Comprehensive English Course with the blended teaching mode through effective teaching design

Summary

Introduction

With the development of English education and the progress of modern educational technology in China, it is the current trend to explore a blended teaching mode based on network and classroom teaching. Teachers are the center of teaching activities and the imparter of knowledge and students are the passive receivers of information. Blend-teaching mode is a combination of traditional classroom teaching methods and online teaching forms under the guidance of various theories. The blended teaching mode combines the advantages of traditional teaching methods with the advantages of network characteristics, which gives full play to the leading role of teachers in guiding, inspiring and monitoring the teaching process, and fully embodies the initiative, enthusiasm and creativity of students as the main body of the learning process (Lin, 2017). Research on blended learning in China has yielded fruitful results
