Exploiting critical factors for higher education course construction of teaching in a second language: case study of 'computer architecture'

Published: 26 October 2018 Publication History

Abstract

To keep the pace of the education globalization, the professional course construction programs of teaching in a second language have received much attention in the recent higher education. The critical factors for successful course reform include variety of resources for learning and teaching, novel teaching methodologies for overcoming barriers of learning in a second language, and hybrid course features. The paper finishes the case study of the critical factors applied in the course computer architecture. The evaluation results of 2015-2017 demonstrated these factors improve by 36.4% rank from the joint assessment perspective of students and teachers.
