Abstract

In the context of the construction of new liberal arts and the digital transformation of foreign language education, the problems of the traditional teaching model adopted in the College English Intensive Reading course for English majors have gradually emerged. This model pays too much attention to the imparting of basic linguistic knowledge, but ignores the cultivation of students' independent inquiry ability, critical thinking ability and academic expression ability, which has a gap with the talent training objectives of English majors. The flipped classroom, by redesigning the teaching process, can well fit the characteristics of the College English Intensive Reading course that focuses on textual analysis, critical thinking training and language application. Taking the College English Intensive Reading course as the research subject, this paper discusses in detail the application value and implementation methods of the flipped classroom, analyzes the practical problems encountered in the application process, and puts forward optimization suggestions combined with relevant research, aiming to provide theoretical support and practical reference for the teaching reform of the College English Intensive Reading course.
