Using the concept of the Flipped Classroom, this article discusses the opportunities and challenges faced by foreign language teachers in the context of MOOCs. The teachers are supposed to accept as follows： first of all, to make a change in teaching philosophy; secondly, to improve the technology literacy of foreign language education; thirdly, to better the ability of teaching, curriculum design and management as well under the new paradigm of foreign language teaching. In brief, a foreign language teacher should make the best use of the opportunities to make a turn from standing in the front to hiding in the rear, from a speaker to a student. Only boldly facing the new age of technology can they be possible to reshape the image and status of traditional teachers.
