ABSTRACT

Chinese higher education is greatly impacted by the development of ICT (Information Communications Technology) and new modes of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teaching have emerged and been implemented under contexts of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and SPOCs (Small Private Online Courses). This requires education practitioners to further clarify their purposes of teaching, make detailed plans for the innovation accordingly, and furthermore, build the new model of EFL teaching with the support of feasible platforms. The study introduced the application of the "Smart Classroom" in College English teaching and the five steps to put it into practice. Through the exploratory research, it is found that the "Smart Classroom" combined with the support of SPOC multi-platforms is realistic and feasible in college English classrooms, which indicates the advantages of the new mode in promoting the motivation of the students and enhancing learning effects. Thus, the new mode of teaching with "Smart Classroom" has potentials to be furthermore applied and explored in the college English teaching process.
