Author: Rong Wu, Hong Wang, Wenhua Wang

Abstract

Spoken English teaching in many Chinese colleges and universities have seen major problems in four aspects, namely, unfavorable language environment, insufficient listening and authentic corpus input, inadequate language processing and internalization and increasing psychological barriers to students’ language expression. The online and offline blended teaching mode in the context of "Internet plus" can expand the teaching methods and learning space of college spoken English, enrich the teaching resources, optimize language processing and internalization and reduce the psychological barriers to students' oral expression, helping to improve the English learners’ speaking skills. Exploring and analyzing the problems existing in traditional spoken English teaching, this paper applies blended teaching to the three stages of spoken English teaching: pre-class preparation, in-class teaching, and after-class consolidation in order to improve students' oral communication skills.
