基于慕课的混合式跨文化外语教学研究

A study on the MOOCs-based blended intercultural foreign language teaching

混合式教学是传统课堂教学与在线教学有机结合的一种教学模式。本研究以我国东部某所"211"高校非英语专业二年级学生为对象,尝试将国际慕课平台FutureLearn上的"跨文化交际"课程融入大学英语课堂教学,开展混合式跨文化外语教学实验。研究结果显示,该教学设计成功实现了大学生跨文化交际能力和英语应用能力提升的双重目标,值得进一步实践探究。

Blended teaching refers to the combination of face-to-face teaching and online learning. With the non- English major sophomores in a ＂Project 211＂ university in east China as the subjects, this study attempts to integrate the online course ＂Intercultural Communication＂ on the MOOCs platform FutureLearn into college English teaching. The results indicate that the blended teaching modality can help students achieve the goals of improving both intercul- tural communicative competence and English proficiency, and merits further research efforts.
