The Framework of Online Learning Based on PBL-PL for College English Courses

Abstract

The accelerated innovation and development of technology in the field of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning have significantly enriched the pathways available for language learning. Based on previous research, E-learning platforms, PBL and PL are helpful for Chinese EFL learners respectively. Therefore, this study proposed a PBL-PL-SSLP framework for College English Courses. The results illustrated the effectiveness of the Super Star Learning Platform (SSLP), problem-based learning (PBL) as well as peer learning (PL), and revealed its benefits to administrators of teaching affairs, course lecturers as well as Chinese college English as a foreign language (EFL) learners. The new teaching and learning framework has the potential to facilitate a novel learning mechanism that will enhance student overall English proficiency, laying a crucial foundation for their future academic, research, and professional pursuits.
