Construction and Application of a Blended Online and Offline University English Course

This paper explores the design, implementation, and evaluation of the Integrated English 3 blended course, which integrates online learning through massive open online courses (MOOCs) and face-to-face classroom instruction. Guided by the production-oriented approach, the course aims to improve students’ language proficiency and intercultural communication skills. It employs a variety of teaching methods, including online self-study, task-based learning, and collaborative group work, to foster student engagement and promote language output. The study highlights key elements of course construction, such as the use of MOOCs, the design of smart classrooms, and the development of a comprehensive assessment system that combines formative and summative evaluations. The results suggest that the blended teaching model enhances students’ language skills while promoting critical thinking and cultural awareness. The course also emphasizes the importance of developing digital literacy among both students and teachers to effectively utilize online resources.
