基于微信的交互式大学英语混合学习模式构建与应用

Design and application of an interactive wechat-based learning model of college English—a blended learning approach

微信因其强交互、去中心化的社交网络在外语教育教学领域的应用越来越广泛,其优势为信息化时代的大学外语教学改革提供了更广阔的前景,如优化教学环境、增加语言的输入和输出,以及多层次多向度的交互,使混合教学模式成为可能。以社会文化理论和远程教学交互理论为基础,在分析微信的教育教学功能的基础上,构建了基于微信的交互式大学英语混合教学模式,并开展了该模式的教学实践研究。该模式凸显学习者为中心,为语言习得创设交互性的学习环境,合理配置学习活动和学习过程。研究结果表明,学习者对该模式满意度较高,对增强学习者动机和学习兴趣有明显的作用。

As an interactive, decentralized social software, Wechat has been widely applied to language teaching and learning. Based on socio-cultural theory and interaction theory in distance education, a blended interactive Wechat-based learning model of College English was constructed and application of the model was carried out in order to explore the feasibility in reality and to test its practical effectiveness. With language learners centered, the model creates an interactive language learning environment and provides appropriate learning activities and teaching process. Statistical analysis shows that participants are highly satisfied with the model in the research in that it works in promoting learners′ motivation and interests.
