The Study on Application of Blended Learning in College English Listening and Speaking Teaching

With the rapid development of information technology and the widespread application of digital learning, the application of blended learning in higher education has increasingly become the center of attention. Based on the current survey of Blended Learning Application in College English Listening and Speaking Teaching, this paper points out some existing problems and puts forward some related countermeasures to promote the the improvement of learning effects in a blended learning environment. Introduction English, as a universal language and media, plays increasingly important role in international exchanges and information transmission of modern society. That means the communication function of English is more and more highly emphasized with the increase of the international intercommunication. Consequently, listening and speaking teaching has become a vital part in college English teaching. Improving students’ listening and speaking ability is the primary objective of college English teaching. In December, 2003, Professor He Kekang put forward the concept of Blended Learning at Global Chinese Conference on Computers in Education. Although Blended Learning is a new idea in our country, it has created widespread interest of domestic researchers and educators. More and more researchers and scholars pay close attention to the application of blended learning in higher education and some universities and colleges have applied this new teaching model to the course teaching. College English listening and speaking teaching is no exception. Therefore, surveying the current application of blended learning in college English listening and speaking teaching and promoting the improvement of learning effects has obvious practical significance.

Nevertheless, at the moment, no authoritative definition is adopted. It is difficult to define concepts of Blended Learning for two reasons. First, different persons have defined the concept in different ways. Second, there are areas of ongoing debate and therefore definitions are continuing to mature as more discussion takes place. So, there are various definitions given by the scholars and researchers abroad and at home. Taking all the definitions at home and abroad into consideration, it can be seen that combination is the essence of these definitions in spite of there are diverse definitions according
