Abstract
The presentation mode of college English class is not immutable, but it shall realize its unique development pattern under the background of modern science and technology innovation. Considering the complexity of college English itself and many secondary courses, so the college English syllabus particularly emphasizes students’ autonomous learning interest and ability in the daily learning. As a result, the experts and scholars within education academic circle both at home and abroad create the teaching mode of “flipped classroom” after long-term research and practice. Although shortcomings still exist in this new teaching model, it will be improved in the development in the future (Bergmann & Sams, 2012). This paper will analyze briefly from the perspectives of current application situation, problems existed and reflections of “flipped classroom” in college English teaching, hoping to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for Chinese colleges to implement “flipped classroom” practice.
