A Research on the Construction of Online and Offline Mixed “Golden Class” Based on MOOC+SPOC Mode : A Case Study in Business English Reading and Writing(BERW)

The present study, against the backdrop of “golden classes”, has been conducted, which explores the feasible route-map to attempt an online and offline mixed “golden class” in the light of MOOC + SPOC mode, with BERW as a case study. The research questions entail: 1) How to mix contents of golden class BERW; 2) How to evaluate students performance of golden class BERW; 3) How to make BERW a golden class. The research findings include: To well mix the contents of BERW, teachers are supposed to allocate the teaching contents rationally in terms of before, during and after class. Evaluation matters much in this teaching practice, on the one hand, teachers need to balance the ratio among such components as MOOC marks, SPOC marks, class participation, and final exam; on the other hand, the present study proposed a “IPP” evaluation model to effectively assess students performance in terms of input, process and product. In order achieve a real sense of “golden class”, which is really not easy to achieve, the present study proposed a five-criterion matrix: integrated knowledge, critical and creative ability, oriented capability, field proficiency, ideological and political education.
