得益于显著的教学成效,翻转课堂自问世之初就吸引美国教育学者们的眼球,并迅速扩展至全球,成为我国教育界,特别是高校大学英语教学改革新的发展方向。然而,值得思考的是,在我国现有的教育体制的背景下,翻转课堂能否像美国一样,真正助推教育发展,满足学生学习愿望,这个问题还有待深入思考探究。本文首先分别介绍了中美翻转课堂起源与发展,其次从主客观对两国实现条件进行对照,归纳总结出双方的现实差异,由此提出对我国大学英语教学改革的几点思考。 Benefiting from the remarkable teaching results, overturning the classroom has attracted the attention of American educators since its publication, and rapidly expanded to the global level. It has become a new development direction for the education sector in our country, especially college English teaching reform. However, it is worth considering that whether the classroom can be overturned like the United States can actually push forward the development of education and meet the aspirations of students under the current education system in our country remains to be explored and explored. This paper first introduces the origins and development of the flip classroom in China and the United States, and then compares the conditions of realization between the two countries from the subjective and the objective perspectives, summarizes the differences between the two sides, and puts forward some reflections on the reform of college English teaching in China.
