Research on the Public English Flipped Classroom Teaching Modes in Higher Vocational Colleges under the Information Technology Environment

Flipped classroom teaching mode was introduced into China since 2011, and many experts, academics, or teachers have begun to introduce and practise it. The author takes "flipped classroom" as a kind of teaching mode reform, and takes advantage of technology tools and information resources, flipping over the traditional higher vocational public English teaching structure, and lets students have a powerful self-learning control. Students watch Micro-videos before or in class, through the teaching guidance and technical tools, and the students carry on self-organization of inquiry learning, and discuss in group during class, while the teacher answers questions raised by students, and encourages collaborative learning among students. In the process of setting up a learning environment, teachers should also consider how to monitor the students' learning behavior and provide timely feedback to the students who are in trouble. In the process of classroom teaching, teachers should re-layout the traditional classroom, breaking the original pattern "teachers on the classroom stage, students below the classroom stage", creating a harmonious and equal learning environment. This mode is a great inspiration to Higher Vocational College English teaching.
