New Teaching Mode Practice of Basic English Course in Flipped Classroom

As a core course for freshmen and sophomores of English major, Basic English teaching still exists lots of complexes such as the restrained teaching mode, little teaching duration, less interaction between teachers and students and unsatisfied teaching results. In this paper, the author has conducted a comparative research between two classes and has discussed whether the current Basic English teaching situation can be improved by the combination of flipped classroom and information technology, whether the traditional teaching method will be replaced or not and the advantages of flipped classroom. Turns out, this flipped classroom idea can perform an efficient work in improving teaching results, students' English levels and their self-learning ability and logically-thinking ability to truly realize the "student-centered English teaching". On the other side, there are some potential problems in the practice process, which needs us to keep improving this teaching method to better realize the "learning and applying integration" teaching goal and cultivate more students of highly educated English levels.
