Abstract
In order to widen college English teachers’ ecological niche and promote their teaching ability, we make an empirical study on college English teachers’ teaching ability and ecological niche on the basis of Ecological Niche Theory. The paper shows how to take advantage of micro-lectures, make full use of 5C teaching strategies and form multiple teaching and learning evaluation and online teaching and learning community to improve discourse power between students and teacher, to change the role of students and teacher. In this way, college English teachers’ teaching ability will be improved greatly.
Highlights
Education in “Internet Plus” time is very different from the traditional education
College English teachers must adapt to the times to master the methods of information technology application to meet the learning characteristics of college students (Griffiths & Keohane, 2013)
In order to further show the impact of “micro-lecture” on teachers’ teaching ability and niche, we studied 9 college teachers during 4 semesters in 2 years
Summary
It is very difficult and inconvenient for schools, teachers and students to communicate with each other and learn from each other. One teacher teaches in one classroom in front of dozens of students, while in “Internet Plus” time, one teacher is able to teach online without the limitation of space, time and the number of students (White, 2011). This is the result of “Internet Plus”. “Micro video network course” is abbreviated to “micro-lecture” It is based on the micro teaching video. One of the necessary qualities of college English teachers is to design, produce and use “micro-lecture”
