The Fusion of College English Flipping Class and Traditional Class--On the Degree of Class-Flipping

Abstract

Flipping Class emphasizes off-line learning with the problems resolved during class to fulfill the internalization. This could promote undergraduates’ innovative spirit and critical thinking. However, the essence in traditional teaching should not be ignored. This paper describes the experiment of fusion between traditional class and flipping class with the undergraduates of grade 2014 majoring in fashion and art from BIFT as the case. The action research conducted in this teaching experiment helps us find the great improvement of undergraduates involved in learning habit, learning attitude and English proficiency. Therefore, the author holds that quality teaching for the special learning subjects - undergraduates of fashion and art major could be achieved with the targeted fusion of traditional teaching and flipping teaching in the process of College English teaching. Meanwhile, when carrying out the flipping teaching mode, the characteristics of learning subjects and course taken are supposed to be considered with the moderate degree of flipping to maximize the effect of the new teaching mode.
