摘要

In the recent decades, as a member of the international organizations of engineering education, Dalian Neusoft University of Information has introduced the concept of project-based teaching into its curriculum construction. In DNUI, projects have been classified into five different levels in teaching and have been designed for the purpose of cultivating students' comprehensive qualities. The project of Next Stop the World, and the Workplace English Language Project I and II have been designed at the course level and are open to students in their first, second and third practice semesters respectively. With the development of information technology, blended teaching model has gained an increasing popularity among higher educational institutions. The project implementation in DNUI has also taken reforms accordingly. It now focuses on the construction of flexible teaching resources and the design of flipped classroom with pre-class, in-class and after-class activities. So far, the blended teaching model for project implementation has successfully motivated English major students to their full potentials and has made great contribution to the cultivation of professional talents in DNUI.
