TOTAL VIEWS: 451
Abstract
With the coming of the information era and the development of network techniques, the adjustment of the cultivation mode of undergraduates majoring in English has been in progress. English major undergraduates are required to be more competent with a solid linguistic foundation and great abilities, such as autonomous learning ability, innovation ability, intercultural communication competence, practical ability, and so on. However, the traditional teaching mode in English majors cannot meet the current needs of talent cultivation in the new era. Due to the defects of the traditional teaching mode, it is necessary to explore better ones to make up for the deficiency and cultivate interdisciplinary talents. At present, teaching modes adopted by teachers of English majors in China vary, with their own merits. Several teaching modes are widely used: blended teaching, flipped classroom, network multimedia teaching, PBL teaching, and so on. Through the review and analysis of relevant research at home and abroad, this dissertation summarizes the influence of different teaching modes on cultivating English major undergraduates’ autonomous learning behaviors, and puts forward corresponding suggestions to adjust the teaching modes of English majors, hoping to improve the autonomous learning behaviors of undergraduates majoring in English.
