Abstract

The present study was designed to explore MOOC-based college English model in China. The paper outlines the basic role of teachers and students in the model and reports the major findings from a one-semester teaching practice in a university in China. Likert Scales, questionnaires and interviews are used in the study. Qualitative and quantitative data suggest that MOOC-based College English teaching is widely accepted by college students. It offers flexibility, various online resources, and virtual communication to students' English learning. The paper also discusses some problems of the model which are worthy of consideration: the requirement and burden to the teachers; the supervision and assessment; and some other limitations of MOOC-based College English model.
