Design and Practice of Blended Teaching Mode of "MOOCs + Flipped Classroom"-- Taking "Basics of Interpretation" Course As An Example

Abstract

Through investigation and observation, it is found that most English interpreting courses in China have single teaching methods, insufficient teaching means and classroom feedback. Meanwhile, interpretation teaching is greatly limited by teaching time and space. Reliance on the traditional paper textbook and teacher-centered teaching mode leads to a large number of students' lack of interest and participation, which affects students' professional development over time. Starting from the concept of flipped classroom and combining with the online MOOCs course "Basics of Interpretation" , this study aims to explore the role of blended teaching model in improving traditional interpreting teaching. The practice has proved that the blended teaching mode of "MOOCs + Flipped Classroom" has played a positive role in reforming and enriching traditional interpretation classes, improving teaching mode and content, expanding course duration, and providing effective feedback.
