A Study on the Blended Teaching Mode of College English Based on Micro-lessons

Abstract

Contemporary college students should have excellent English proficiency. As a mandatory public course at the university level, developing students' overall English skills plays a crucial role in their growth. With the rise of the Internet, blended teaching, exemplified by micro-courses, has demonstrated significant potential for application. Effectively utilizing micro-class formats and implementing online and offline blended teaching is essential for enhancing the current state of English education. The blended teaching approach merges the convenience of information technology and online resources with the benefits of traditional classroom settings. This method not only boosts teachers' enthusiasm for instruction but also enhances students' engagement in English learning by refining teaching techniques, resources, evaluation methods, and feedback mechanisms. This article outlines micro-class and blended teaching, underscores the importance of college English blended teaching within the micro-course framework, and proposes specific strategies to address current challenges in English blended instruction. The aim is to enhance the effectiveness of English blended teaching, rectify existing shortcomings in college English education, leverage the advantages of information technology, inspire students' motivation for self-directed learning, employ inquiry-based teaching, and establish a new English teaching paradigm in the digital age.
