College English Intercultural Teaching Strategies Based on Network Construction under the Concept of Teaching to the Future

Abstract

With the global integration and the development of science and technology, higher requirements have been put forward for English teaching in China. Society urgently needs English talents with high English cross-cultural communication ability and strong self-learning ability. The concept of “Teaching for the Future” (TTF) advocates the use of technology as a tool for teaching and learning. In the context of the “big data” era, the rapid development of network information technology has spawned a series of new educational models. Based on the SPOC teaching model, this paper constructs a new cross-cultural teaching model for college English and conducts experiments on two selected classes of the same grade in a university. The experimental results show that students increase their interest in learning English culture and enhance their ability to communicate and collaborate. Therefore, the integration of future education and network technology represented by SPOC will play a certain role in promoting the cross-cultural teaching of English in colleges and universities.
