一、翻转课堂内涵
翻转课堂就是把需要教师在课堂上的新授内容让学生先自主学习,把练习训练放到课堂,并在教师和同学的相互讨论、相互协作中完成,此过程优化了知识的内化过程,真正实现学生为课堂主体,教师为组织者,指导者的角色转换。
二、商务英语翻转课堂教学模式
笔者曾在《科技创新导报》发表《高职院校商务英语专业翻转课堂教学模式初探》一文,1文中根据商务英语教学现状与特点,融合了钟晓流提出的太极环式翻转课堂模型和杰姬·格斯丁(Gerstein,2011)构建的一个环形翻转课堂模型,尝试构建符合商务英语教学特点的翻转课堂模型 (见图1)。该模型仍然由课前和课中组成,把课前和课中分成四个阶段,即教学部署、自主学习、实践运用、成果评价,其中教学部署、自主学习属于课前,实践运用、成果评价属于课中。

三、综合英语翻转课堂教学设计
1、课前内容设计(教学部署)
首先分析学习者,本课程的授课对象是商务英语专业高职三年级的学生。经过前两年学习该年级学生在学习能力方面具备基本的听、说、读、写能力,但大部分学生实践运用能力薄弱,他们乐于参加课堂活动,有表演热情,有创造力,但缺乏钻研探究精神。其次确定教学目标,本节课需要学生运用公司信息常用句型并表达,学会设计公司信息且流利陈述,通过对公司信息设计、成果展示、协作活动培养学生解决问题能力,培育创新思维、团队合作精神。然后,教学视频准备。准备教学视频有两种途径,一是使用网上优秀教学资源,二是教师自行录制,而自己录制视频对教师自身提出较大挑战。本次教学视频是笔者自行录制,经过多次练习反复录制和请教信息系同事,最终录成大约25分钟符合本节课教学目标和顺应学生学情的视频。最后课前练习设计。课前练习有助于检测学生对视频学习的理解程度,让学生及时发现疑惑,并记录下来由教师在课堂统一解决。本次课的课前练习是让学生先设计公司标志,并用英文陈述该标志所代表意义。
2、课中活动设计(实践运用,成果评价)
课中活动就是让学生设计公司信息并用英文陈述,这一活动包括实践运用,成果展示和评价。2翻转课堂最大的好处就是增强了师生之间的交互和学生之间的交互。协作学习的学生与学生进行交互的有效途径,在翻转课堂中,一定要加强协作学习设计。该班级有30位学生,分成6组,一组5位学生,学生间有协作分工,有的负责画出公司产品,有的负责公司信息陈述,有的负责主设计,有的负责查阅资料等,由学生自行安排。实践运用过程是学生将知识内化过程,将所学知识充分运用到实践中去,因此这一过程很重要,需要教师在不打扰学生准备进程的情况下给予高度关注和适当指导。准备完后各组按照先前抽签结果顺序展示自己学习成果,教师予以适当点评和鼓励,笔者在学生展示过程中录下视频,以便学生课后交流所用。评价是总结学习成果的最重要阶段,要多维评价,不仅教师评,还有学生自评,学生间互评,在评价过程中对知识点反复总结,这学生知识内化及其重要。
