The construction of a flipped classroom teaching mode of College English based on Rainclass and its effectiveness analysis

Abstract

This study constructs a flipped classroom teaching mode for College English based on the teaching platform of Rainclass, and conducts a semester long practice of flipped classroom teaching in an advanced English class in GUET, aiming to explore the impact of flipped classroom teaching mode on the improvement of English level of higher-level learners. It is found that under the flipped classroom teaching mode, the overall improvement of students’ English level is significantly higher than that of learners with the same level under the traditional teaching mode. In terms of individual language skills, the flipped classroom teaching mode is more effective in improving students’ writing, translating and reading skills, while less obvious in the improvement of their listening skills.
