ABSTRACT
In the post-epidemic era, the blended teaching mode, which integrates online teaching and offline teaching, has become the development trend of school education in the future. This combination of online and offline hybrid teaching mode plays a particularly prominent role in higher education teaching. With the employment of Dale's Cone of Experience in college English blended learning, an action research was conducted to improve the students’ participation in classroom activities, as well as increase their motivation and interest in learning English. The findings of the study show that such learning strategy breaks the limitations of traditional teaching in time and space, relies on online teaching platforms and rich learning resources, returns the dominant position of learning to students, therefore effectively mobilizes students’ enthusiasm and initiative in learning and significantly improves students’ learning ability and communicative ability in English.
