The web-based collaborative teaching mode is the key to reforming the teaching mode and developing the teaching practice. To improve the traditional English teaching mode, this paper puts forward an innovative English teaching method for elementary, secondary and higher education based on the massive open online course (MOOC) and Google Collaboration platform. The research shows that it is possible for students to learn collaboratively under the guidance of teachers; the students can broaden their horizon by searching for more materials on the online collaboration platform, according to the objectives and themes laid down by the teachers; the proposed innovative English teaching method can improve the learning efficiency of the students, encourage them to participate in learning and collaboration, arouse their interest and enthusiasm in foreign language learning, and help them to gain insights into learning. The research findings provide technical support to the reform and innovation of English teaching mode, and lays a theoretical basis for deepening the reform of teaching methods in various disciplines.

Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is an important tool to improve the au-tonomous learning of students and the teaching effects of the courses. Focusing on the online teaching of college English courses, this paper proposes a simple design of blended English teaching mode for the requirements of MOOC plat-form. Using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework and the Java pro-gramming language, the author realized the database-related functions of the plat-form by SQL server database, designed the backend server on the Spring and Hibernate integrated frameworks, and developed the entire platform using the browser/server (B/S) structure. The platform test results show that the MOOC-based blended English teaching mode satisfies the teaching demands, achieves stable performance, and wins the recognition of most students. The research find-ings shed new light on the innovation of college English teaching.

Traditional English teaching practice often centers on the teacher and implements the teaching mode of “exemplifying by the teacher-answering by students-evaluating by the teacher”. This inflexible teaching mode fails to fully exert student’s subjective function; at the same time, due to the lack of necessary guidance and help from teachers, students are more likely to suffer from learning burnout and low self-confidence. With this regard, an English multimedia teaching mode was proposed in this study based on Krashen’s “Language Input Theory”. The theory is characterized by emphasizing the analysis of English language learning from the perspectives of “acquisition” and “learning”, advocating “understanding” of knowledge and using student-centered teaching methods. In this study, Krashen’s theory was combined with interactive learning methods and multimedia information technology to form an English teaching mode focused on “teacher-student”, “student-student” and “student-computer” interactions and build an “in class- after class” and “online-offline” English learning environment. This mode was practically applied in the teaching of “College English” at Hohai University in Jiangsu Province, China. The results show that the English multimedia teaching mode based on Krashen’s theory is more effective than the traditional teaching mode in improving students’ interest and self-confidence in learning.

Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is a new online education model that provides new opportunities and challenges for the development and reform of teaching in colleges and universities. This paper first builds a MOOC-based model of influencing factors of blended learning adaptability. Through investigation and research, it is found that the six influencing factors all have different ways and different degrees of influence on learning adaptability. Among them, learning motivation has a direct and significant impact on learning adaptability, and learning self-efficacy not only has a direct and significant impact on learning adaptability but also has an indirect impact on learning adaptability through learning motivation. Teacher teaching has indirect effects on learning adaptability through learning self-efficacy, learning motivation, and learning support. Learning support not only has a direct and significant impact on learning adaptability but also has an indirect impact on learning adaptability through learning motivation. MOOC platform has a direct and significant impact on learning adaptability. The quality of course content has a direct and significant impact on learning adaptability through the MOOC platform and learning motivation. The creative results of this research are mainly embodied in the combination of theory and practice, exploring and forming related results based on MOOC-based college students’ learning adaptability. According to the MOOC-based learning-adaptive intervention model, teaching practice is carried out to verify the effect of the intervention model from two aspects of student procedural performance and result performance. Finally, in view of the problems existing in traditional computer teaching in colleges and universities, combined with the design ideas and basic characteristics of MOOC, the teaching mode reform of computer courses is analyzed and discussed, and a MOOC-based computer engineering education teaching mode is proposed.

This paper presents an in-depth study and analysis of the design and implementation of English listening instruction using wireless sensing microprocessors combined with the technology of virtual environments. Inaccurate speech hinders smooth communication and restricts the development of various skills in foreign language learning. To learn English well, mastering phonetics is a crucial first step. Especially for learners in junior and senior high schools, phonics teaching is considered an essential part. In the face of the new standards which put higher demands on phonetic intonation, the traditional methods of teaching phonetics have little effect on improving phonetics and are even somewhat overwhelming. Therefore, increased researchers are trying to find effective phonics teaching methods to improve the current problems in high school phonics teaching. Important definitions of virtual reality, augmented reality, and teaching resources are collected and organized, typical applications of augmented reality in education at the present stage are summarized, important events in the development of augmented reality are reviewed, key technologies of augmented reality are briefly described, hardware and software resources required to realize the effect of augmented reality are introduced, and pedagogical theories underlying the study of augmented reality in English teaching resources are discussed. The results of the student walk-through quizzes are analyzed using SPSS with independent sample t -tests, and the distribution of the number of scores is statistically analyzed in the form of graphs, and interviews with students and teachers are used to gain a deeper understanding of the effectiveness of the resource in teaching practice. The value of the application of the augmented reality primary school English teaching resource is explored.

The development of new educational technology and educational concepts has made Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) and other teaching methods deeply applied in the field of online education. In order to improve the initiative and practical ability of English learners, and promote the cognitive ability of English learners, the MOOC elements were introduced in English teaching, an efficient MOOC English teaching platform was constructed, and the MOOC-based English teaching model was analyzed. The results show that the teaching model obtained from this study can not only take advantage of MOOC’s advantages, but also avoid the defects of delayed feedback and low completion rate. In addition, the effective peer evaluation method can significantly improve English teaching.
