A Study on the Construction of Dynamic Assessment Model of College English Flipped Classroom Based on Mobile Learning

Hui ZHANG

Abstract


With the rapid development of the Internet and the popularity of mobile devices, mobile learning and flipped Classroom have been widely used in college English teaching in China. As innovative digital learning and teaching mode, both of them emphasize the autonomy and individuation of learning, which break through the limits of time and space. Therefore, more scientific and accurate assessment model is urgently needed to evaluate the changes of students’ knowledge, skills, learning attitude and other aspects in the whole process of mobile learning. From the perspective of Dynamic Evaluation Theory, this paper abandons the drawbacks of traditional static assessment model and applies the dynamic assessment into every link of mobile learning and flipped classroom. It constructs a diversified dynamic assessment system of college English, comprehensively evaluating students’ academic performance by means of information technology and network resources. After two semesters of experimental study, it terrifies the effectiveness of the new dynamic assessment model based on the data collected in the questionnaires, interview, and the test. The implementation of the innovative assessment model not only urges teachers to improve teaching management, but also enhances students’ learning efficiency and language application ability, thus improving the quality of college English teaching. It opens up a new prospect for the standardization and scientization of college English assessment system.
