| Summary: | College English teaching is encountering a major challenge: a mismatch between course teaching and undergraduate program requirements in China. To tackle this issue, lecturers have been exploring different teaching strategies and modes. Guided with Outcome-Based Education (OBE) concept, this study proposes a systematic blended teaching mode to address the aforementioned problem on a basis of Comprehensive College English I and II course teaching in a private university in China. Students are divided into experimental classes and control classes. Throughout the process of teaching reform, a combination of online and offline activities are implemented. Upon completion of one year of reform, a comparative study of the course outcomes between the experimental and control classes will be conducted using SPSS statistical software. The analysis revealed that the OBE-based blended teaching approach improved students’ professional skills and language ability. This study aims to help college English lecturers in China understand and implement a new teaching model that aligns with undergraduate program requirements and improves students’ abilities. |
