Exploring the Blended Teaching Reform Mode of “Introduction to Chinese Culture” Course for English Majors Based on SPOC

Abstract

In the context of digital education’s booming development, this thesis explores the blended teaching reform mode of the English major’s Introduction to Chinese Culture course based on SPOC (Small Private Online Course). By analyzing the characteristics and advantages of the SPOC platform, combining the learning needs of English majors and the teaching objectives of the Introduction to Chinese Culture course, this study designs and implements a set of blended teaching programs, aiming to enhance students’ cross-cultural communication skills while improving their in-depth understanding of Chinese Culture. This study conducted an in-depth discussion on students’ experiences and feelings about blended teaching before and after the teaching reform, teachers’ roles and challenges in the teaching reform, and the impact of blended teaching on students’ learning outcomes, and found that the blended teaching model based on SPOC significantly enhanced the teaching effect and provided new perspectives and strategies for modernizing and reforming the English majors’ courses.
