慕课背景下大学英语MCE教学模式有效性研究

The Empirical Study of Postgraduate English MCE Teaching Mode under the Background of MOOC

慕课为大学英语ESP教学带来了全新的机遇,文章以ESP理论为基础,深入剖析大学英语ESP教学现状与困境,结合非英语专业学生的英语学习特点,提出基于慕课的大学英语MCE教学模式,即"慕课网络课程(MOOC)+语料驱动学习(Corpus-driven Learning)+ESP"。此外,通过实验教学、问卷调查、个别访谈等定性和定量相结合的方法验证该模式的有效性。结果显示,MCE教学模式可使学生的学习动机从工具型动机转变为融入型动机,且可提高学生的英语语言综合应用能力。

The rise of MOOC provides new opportunities for English for Specific Purposes （ESP）. The study dives deep into the current situation of ESP teaching based on the theory of ESP, and proposes MCE （ on-line MOOC courses ＋ Corpus-driven learning ＋ ESP） teaching mode in accordance with learning characteristics of postgraduate students. In addition, this study adopts the qualitative and quantitative methods to verify the effectiveness of this teaching mode. The results show that this teaching mode can change learning motivation of postgraduate students from instrumental motivation to integration motivation, and improve English com- prehensive abilities of students.
