Abstract

National Standards in 2018 put forward the higher requirements for both college or university students and teachers majoring in foreign languages. The four elements in CLIL model are highly consistent with the targets. Our research group selected two parallel classes of English majors in the third year of Kunming University to carry out experimental research in the course of “An Introduction to English Literature” by using the instruments of the questionnaire, test paper, interview, classroom observation and daily assignment. Through the experiment, we found that the implementation of CLIL mixed teaching model can increase students’ learning interest and improve their critical thinking ability. Hopefully, our research can shed some light on the reform of the foreign language classes for college or university English majors.
