Designing an Integrated Teaching Model of College English Course Assisted by Digital Platforms

In this digital era, the integration of the internet and information technology has repainted the landscape of college English teaching in current China. This study aims to explore a comprehensive instructional approach that capitalizes on diverse information technology platforms to optimize and enhance personalized learning experiences. By synthesizing emerging pedagogical methods, such as blended teaching, second classroom teaching, self-learning of e-courses and formative assessment, and meanwhile by conducting a detailed examination of various new media and information technology platforms (e.g., Rain Classroom, Delta Reading, Pigai.org, and U Campus…), this research seeks to seamlessly integrate these digital tools with advanced teaching methodologies to design an intelligently integrated and smartly personalized teaching model for college English teaching. The trial model has been attempted by the majority of college English teachers in HFUT in recent two years with the primary objective to enhance the quality and efficiency of college English course, ensuring a more scientific and tailored approach to language instructions. The relevant questionnaire and data collected in the implementations of this teaching mode in this study promisingly reflect the validity of this model and yet offers insights and clues for further improvements.
