Abstract

Blended learning, as a new and multi-dimensional teaching mode, integrates the offline teaching in the traditional classroom with online teaching of the Internet. With the development of Internet, blended learning has become the mainstream of current information-based teaching. This teaching mode combines task-based teaching with autonomous learning which helps the students learn before teaching, improve students’ critical thinking ability and comprehensive language ability, promote the quality of English teaching and cultivate students’ core literacy in English learning. With the reform of college English, it is feasible to apply blended learning in College English teaching. However, the current College English teaching mode is still teacher-centered and the students’ dominant position cannot be well reflected. In addition, due to the limitations of offline English teaching, it is hardly to meet all the students’ need for English learning, thus resulting in low class participation, insuffiient learning motivation and poor learning effects, etc. In order to solve the problems in the traditional classroom English teaching, the online and offline blended teaching mode in College English Reading Teaching is proposed. This paper discusses the advantages, disadvantages and contents of online and offline blended teaching mode and futher explores the strategies of applying online and offline blended teaching mode in College English Reading Teaching. This study is aimed at changing college English teachers’ teaching concepts, enhancing students’ motivation in English learning, improving teaching quality and giving full play to educational functions. Of course, although online and offline blended teaching has many advantages, the significance of traditional classroom learning cannot be ignored. Without the effective guidance of teachers, it is difficult for students to learn knowledge scientifically and systematically. Therefore, it is necessary to apply blended teaching mode and combine the online teaching with offline teaching, and only in this way can the best teaching effects be achieved.
