Abstract

Flipped classroom is a new teaching model in recent years, which has had a wide range of practical applications in the teaching of many disciplines. The emergence of this new teaching model also provides a new idea for the innovation of the interpreting teaching for English majors. In order to verify the actual teaching effect of interpreting teaching based on the flipped classroom model, the author conducted a teaching experiment at Class 3 , Grade 2 in English major of School of Foreign Languages, China West Normal University. A total of 27 students in this class were divided into two groups, namely, group A and group B. The flipped classroom model was used in group A in the English interpreting teaching, while in group B the traditional teaching model was applied. Through eight weeks' investigation and questionnaire contrastive analysis, the author found out that the new teaching model could optimize the traditional ways of communication, strengthened the stimulating intensity of information on learners and motivated their learning enthusiasm through the network platform and abundant interpreting teaching resources.
