ABSTRACT

Since the development of new technology, multi terminal online teaching has become the mainstream teaching mode. The classroom space environment of college English for non-English majors has changed from classroom to home, and the teaching mode has also changed from offline to online. Students' online classes at home have formed a new student English Ecological niche. Can students establish a stable and balanced Ecological niche under the online teaching environment of college English in the new era? In this study, qualitative and quantitative research methods are used. In the form of questionnaires, the main factors affecting students' English learning and the student Ecological niche scale in online teaching are designed. Data about external factors such as teachers and teaching environment, students' language learning concepts, language learning strategies, and the definition of teachers' roles are collected, and the research results are analyzed and discussed from the change trend of average and standard deviation, Finally, it was found that the students' Ecological niche had a misplaced or absent balance change phenomenon, that is, the ecological imbalance of learning in online teaching. Therefore, this study aims to arouse teachers' attention to the students' learning ecological environment, correct the misplaced learning ecology in time, and rebuild a balanced and stable student Ecological niche.
