The Influence of MOOCs on the Reform and Development of English Foreign Language Teaching in China

摘要

MOOCs are a disruptive trend changing how education is delivered and funded throughout the world, and there's no question that MOOCs have made people reconsider the future of higher education with respect to the intersection of education and technology. It's evident that traditional English foreign language teaching is not conductive to desirable learning outcomes in China and much things should be worked on for a better change. It's suggested that the influence of MOOCs on the development of English foreign language teaching in China be denoted in three dimensions, i.e. promoting reform awareness and actions, impacting on teacher professional development and enhancing strategic alliances with multiple partners, so as to create a climate that maximizes English language learning under MOOC background. It's hoped that this research provides a useful reference for future English foreign language education among college students.
