Abstract

The global pandemic outbreak in the past two years has propelled the fast development of modern education technology, and the deep integration of “Internet Plus” new technology and education industry has brought about innovations and reforms to language teaching and learning. This study, taking the first-year vocational school students as subjects and their English reading teaching and learning as a case, tentatively examined the application of PBL strategy under the internet plus environment to provide practical implications for foreign language teaching. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were adopted to investigate the factors influencing individual exploration and joint interactions in the process of task completion. The results indicated that the PBL-based teaching practice: (1) motivated the participants’ autonomous learning with well-designed tasks; (2) improved the participants’ language proficiency by exposing them to English environment and supervising their learning process; (3) contributed to the elevation of the participants’ communicative competency through collaborative discussions and interactions; (4) enhanced the participants’ self-confidence in English learning with online presentations and positive feedbacks from the teacher and their peers.
