The Application of Flipped Class in Electrical Engineering Professional English

Abstract

In view of the problems existing in the teaching of Electrical Engineering Professional English and the characteristics of this course, a three-stage teaching model of Electrical Engineering Professional English is proposed in this paper, namely "Adaptation-Formation-Improvement" (AFI). This model aims to solve the two major obstacles of syntax and reading comprehension in professional English learning. Teaching practice shows that AFI teaching model can not only stimulate students' interest in learning professional English, cultivate their self-study ability and teamwork spirits, but also effectively improve their proficiency in reading professional literatures in English as well as professional English learning skills. AFI has certain practical significance for English teaching of electrical engineering specialty.
