Research On Instructional Design In Network-assisted English Teaching

The main principles on instruction design of net-assist English teaching are analyzed in this paper. The teaching process features in net-assist English teaching environment are presented and several rules on instruction design of net-assist English teaching are summarized. Then according to the comparison between two typical application modes of net-assist English teaching, an instruction design for post-graduate students' English reading class is made as well as proved to be helpful with improving students' English reading ability by a comparative teaching experiment.Firstly, the principles and theories about net-assist English teaching and instruction design are described in the paper. The range of net-assist teaching is defined. Based on the discussion of several relative learning theories, the double-subject teaching theory is emphasized as a main theory of net-assist teaching. Then features of net-assist teaching are summarized. Meanwhile, nine teaching events are introduced on the basis of describing human being's learning process. According to the features of net-assist teaching, the-teaching events" features in the environment of net-assist English teaching are discussed as a foundation for next part.Secondly, the application of instruction design in net-assist English teaching environment is emphasized in the paper. Based on the teaching events' features in the environment of net-assist English teaching, five rules of instruction design in net-assist English teaching environment are presented. According to those five rules and the comparison between two typical application modes of net-assist English teaching, a teaching design which focuses on English reading course for post-graduate students is made as an active way of applying net-assist English teaching.Finally, a teaching experiment on post-graduate students' English reading course is designed and carried out. Two different ways of applying net-assist English teaching are practiced and compared by the grades from three tests. The result of this teaching experiment proves that the active application of net-assist English teaching can be helpful in improving students' reading ability as well as in making a good result in English teaching. The idea of trying more active application modes of net-assist English teaching in the future is raised at the end of the paper.
