Language is a unique tool used to express meaning and exchange ideas while sociality is a basic attribute to it. The language sociality lies in that languages exist in social activities and evolve simultaneously. Cognition of language sociality, to some extent, has an implicit or explicit influence on foreign language teaching (FLT). As one social behavior affected by the environment around, language is interfered with social, cognitional and cultural factors, which is evidently reflected in difficulties in FLT. To apply language sociality into FLT and improve the validity and reliability in the process, the following aspects need to be considered and innovated: the curriculum, process of teaching, quality of teachers, involvement of students as well as research on cultural fusion.

The teaching quality of foreign language courses is constrained by various factors. It is no easy task to improve the teaching quality or evaluate it in a reliable manner. To solve the problem, this paper attempts to design feasible strategies for improving the teaching quality of foreign language courses. Firstly, theoretical analysis was carried out on the development of foreign language teaching and the factors affecting the teaching quality, revealing the key obstacles to improving the teaching quality. On this basis, several strategies and paths were put forward to improve the quality of foreign language teaching. In addition, a novel evaluation indicator system and a multi-attribute fuzzy evaluation model were established for the teaching quality of foreign language courses. The research results provide strong supports to the teaching optimization of foreign language courses.

Teaching Mode

With the continuous expansion of economic globalization, English, as the official language in the world, has a high popularity. It can be related to a better development in the future. Meanwhile, with the continuous progress of technology in modern society, multimedia online teaching has become the main means in colleges and universities, which especially brings great changes to foreign language teaching. However, foreign language teaching is facing many difficulties such as large number of contents, less lessons and low participation of students in class. Therefore, the reform of college foreign language teaching is imperative. Based on blended collaborative teaching mode, the paper has designed a “Three Classes” composed of “Communication Class”, “Famous Teacher Class” and “Elite Online Class”. Teaching process has been designed according to the cognitive process of “Previewing before class, consolidating in class and expanding after class”. In addition, recommendation algorithm has been used to collect data on four dimensions, namely, involvement in foreign language learning, content completion of foreign language learning, interaction in foreign language learning and effectiveness of foreign language learning. A performance evaluation system for foreign language learning supported by big data has been established. The results of teaching practice have proved that the blended collaborative teaching mode implemented in the study can be integrated into the whole teaching process through intelligent data analysis, information sharing and technology application, improving teaching quality, enhancing the interaction between teachers and students, which is worthy of promotion and application.
