Abstract:
The ongoing advancement of network technology constitutes technological foundations for educational innovations and the expanded access to learning spaces, which paves a new way for blended learning. In view of the existing problems and challenges in college English teaching in China, this study proposed a task-oriented blended teaching (TOBT) mode of college English course on the basis of summarizing the research background of learning space, task-oriented teaching and blended teaching. The empirical study demonstrated that this TOBT mode generated effective teaching outcomes and triggered students' positive learning behaviors. The research findings contributed to extending our understanding on blended teaching mode and providing some enlightenment to educators for constructing a technology-initiated language teaching.
