Exploring the Effective Path of Cultivating College Students’ English Intercultural Communication Competence Based on the Social Network Analysis Model

Abstract

Abstract This paper introduces the BOPPPS teaching model integrated with flipped classrooms into the intercultural communication classroom by decomposing the BOPPPS teaching module and analyzing the differences with traditional teaching methods by combining social network analysis methods. The basic teaching model framework was built, and an effective blended teaching model was created by utilizing the third-order nonlinear expression of social networks introduced into the online platform. A 10-week teaching model experiment was conducted for two classes to explore English major students in a university. The overall average score of the experimental class improved by 23.6 points to 86.02, and the score improvement was significantly higher than that of the control class, proving that the hybrid teaching model is an effective way to cultivate talents for universities.
