A Practical Path of Civics Case Bank for “Understanding Contemporary China” University English Course from the Perspective of Blended Learning Model

Abstract

In recent years, the organic integration of curriculum Civics into the cultivation of English majors has become a hot issue in the education sector. On the basis of the known Civic-Political value of the Understanding Contemporary China series of textbooks, we obtain the Civic-Political cases of Understanding Contemporary China for university English courses through data mining and preprocessing, and use BERT, BiLSTM, and CRF to categorize the Civic-Political cases, and ultimately construct a kind of Civic-Political case base for university English courses that integrates Understanding Contemporary China. Subsequently, a combination of the case base and the blended learning model was used to establish a practice path for Civics and Politics in college English courses from three aspects: teaching evaluation system, classroom teaching design, and case design, and to analyze it with empirical inquiry. There is a certain difference and a big gap between the average scores of the two classes, and the difference between the average scores of their scores is 12.1, and there is a significant difference at the level of 0.05, which indicates that the use of the blended learning model to incorporate the Civic-Political cases in the university English course of Understanding Contemporary English has an obvious role effect. In addition, based on the results of the questionnaire, it can be seen that the experimental class students' knowledge mastery, thoughts and emotions have been significantly improved, which fully verifies the feasibility of the research program in this paper.
