翻转课堂对理工院校学生语言发展的影响研究

Flipped-Classroom Impacting on English Proficiency of Students in Institute of Science and Technology

综合运用实证研究、问卷调查等多种方法,探求翻转课堂对理工院校大学英语课程的教学效果。研究对实验组和对照组的学生分别施以翻转课堂教学和传统教学,进而以其四级成绩评测语言发展水平。研究结果表明:学生虽整体认可翻转课堂教学模式,但对"是否继续开展"态度保守;两组学生四级成绩差异不显著,翻转课堂没有达到预期效果。研究进而剖析了原因:理工科学生课业繁重,影响了课堂参与度;翻转课堂的多维互动使部分学生产生学习焦虑;翻转课堂对教师形成自我挑战;地方高校教改硬件设施有待加强建设。翻转课堂虽然为大学英语教学提供了新思路,但需要结合学生实际情况理性评判与施行以促进学生语言能力发展。

Through a combination of experimental study and questionnaire, this study aims at explo-ring the effectiveness of flipped classroom. It compares students’ CET - 4 scores between the experi-mental class which adopts a flipped instruction approach and the controlled one which uses traditional lecture. The results indicate that learners are conservative about continuing to implement flipped class-room despite acceptance. The scores of the experimental group are not significantly higher than that in the controlled group. The study also attempts to analyze the causes and points out the potential prob-lems in the process ： time cannot be guaranteed due to the heavy load of coursework of engineering students; diversity learning activities lead to students^ anxiousness; the flipped classroom poses chal-lenges to the teacher; hardware facilities in local colleges and universities are urged to be strength-ened. In a word, we need rational learning and thinking about the flipped classroom, realizing the op-timal teaching effect in combination with the practical situation of students.
