SPOC-based Spoken English Teaching: Design and Practice

Abstract

Recent years have witnessed the fast and steady growth in the research on the integration of technology and education. The study proposed a SPOC-based spoken English teaching model.1531 students participated in the teaching practice, learning online and practicing in classroom. Then, five students had an interview from which their feedback on the model was gathered. Results of the study reveal the model can be optimized through diversifying lecture videos and standardizing assessment system. To make the model work more efficiently, students are encouraged to improve their autonomous learning ability and adapt themselves to the model. It is suggested that researchers incorporate technological achievements into EFL teaching.
