ATTITUDE AND SKILL MODELS IN TEACHING ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES IN CHINA

Abstract

It has been found that the current teaching system and teaching mode have restrictions on the English application to secondary vocational students with the main problem in the lack of alignment of the content of education with the real-life situations in the professional sphere. To solve this problem, blended learning can be used to improve the learning outcomes. The paper describes implementation of the blended learning method in the ESP teaching to secondary vocational school students with the focus on the attitude and skill models of teaching English for specific purposes. With the attitude model, the teacher can remotely monitor the learning status of each student and provide assistance. Skills-driven learning is a more advanced form of hybrid learning that allows students to set their own learning steps and ask teacher for help if needed.
