翻转课堂与内容本位语言教学在有机化学实验课程中的整合应用研究

Study on the Integration of Flipped Classroom and Content-Based Language Teaching in Organic Chemistry Experiment Course

为了应对在化学实验教学中采用内容本位语言教学(content-based language teaching,CBLT)模式时具有中等英语水平的中国大学生面临的挑战,本研究以行动研究的形式,通过研究人员和实践者的合作,设计了一种将翻转课堂(FC)和内容本位语言教学法整合的新型教学模式,并对其教学效果进行了初步的研究。笔者根据自己与学生的互动以及学生的反馈来反思整个教学过程,通过问卷调查收集数据,采用Excel和定性数据分析软件Nvivo进行了定性及定量分析,监测FC-CBLT教学模式的有效性。结果表明,FC-CBLT整合模式可以成功地应用于有机化学实验课程,并且获得良好的教学效果,例如,增加了学生的参与度,加深了学生对该学科的理解等。在此基础上,笔者进一步制定了下一版整合模式设计的行动计划。

This paper identifies the challenge of teaching chemistry in content-based language teaching(CBLT) approach to Chinese college students with intermediate level of proficiency in the target language. The researchers and practitioners as researchers collaboratively designed a new teaching mode: integrating CBLT with flipped classroom. The designed mode was put forward in an initial run of the course design. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through questionnaire to monitor the effectiveness of this model. Data were analyzed with both traditional method and Nvivo. Practitioners as researchers reflect on this process based on their own interaction with students as well as student’s feedback. The results of this work suggest that the flipped CBLT mode has been successfully applied in an organic chemistry experiment course. And the integration has yielded successful outcomes such as increasing of engagement, and developing a deeper understanding of the discipline. Action plan for the next design is also made.
