Abstract

This paper aims to explore and analyze the effect of the blended teaching and learning model used in college English cultural courses by taking the course “Introducing Chinese Culture in English” as an example. The blended teaching and learning model brings the optimal integration of on-line and off-line teaching and learning into reality by employing the on-line state level MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) “Introducing Chinese Culture in English”, constructing SPOC (Small Private Online Course) on U-Campus platform, and adopting a variety of cultural activities in off-line classroom. The teaching practice proves that the blended teaching and learning model advocates the “learner-centered” teaching idea, and fits in the characteristics of college English cultural courses. The learners acquire abundant and effective cultural information through the on-line MOOC and SPOC resource input, and in the off-line classroom, through different types of teacher-learner and learner-learner interaction and varied cultural teaching strategies, including cultural lecture, cultural performance, cultural discussion, the teachers and learners cooperatively and successfully construct an interactive, harmonious and humanistic cultural classroom.
