An Experimental Research on a New Vocational English Teaching Model 'Three Stages in One'

摘要

Based on Constructionism, humanism, needs analysis and task-based teaching, "Three Stages in One " teaching model is put forward. It is composed of situational-experiencing, communicative training and applicational practicing. It is carried out by stimulating students's interest to study by creating situations, English activities designed according to task-based teaching theory and internship activity outside school. An experimental research method is adopted to conduct a comparative study between the experimental class and the control class in their English study. The new model is applied in instructing the experimental class, whereas the traditional method is used in the control class. The experiment lasts two semesters. It attempts to find out whether there is a significant difference between progress trending of the two classes. An Independent Sample Test is carried out for testing equality of means of their differences between previous and posttest grades. As a result, P-value ＜0.05.Therefore, there exists a significant difference between progress trending of the two classes. The experimental result proves that the new model is superior to the traditional one and the new model can improve students's practical English ability effectively.
