Abstract
As the new direction of education reform in the internet era, the SPOC-based blended teaching mode has become increasingly popular in universities, because it can enrich teaching content, diversify learning path, enhance interaction between teachers and learners, and most importantly improve students’ learning enthusiasm and effectiveness.

Summary
Since the 1980s, information technology began to penetrate into every part of education field as a result of the development of Internet technology. In late 1980s, the research on computer-aided language teaching began to become a hot issue. The study of COMPUTER-aided language teaching has brought about great changes in classroom teaching and learning. In the classroom teaching assisted by multimedia technology, learning resources have developed from a single textbook in the traditional classroom to multimedia files with sound, text, pictures, video images and so on. What’s more, with the fast development and promotion of MOOC technology in China in the past decade, the construction capacity of MOOC high-quality courses in colleges and universities has been greatly enhanced, and it has achieved great success. There are about 12,500 MOOC courses online Under this trend, MOOCs in foreign languages are developing continuously (Huang Kaisheng, Zhou Xinping, 2017)[1]
