摘要

我国传统的英语课堂以教师和教材为中心,而这种教学模式存在一定的弊端。学生在教学中不处在主要地位，教师对学生个体的关注不够。为促进外语教学的进步，教学改革势在必行。互联网时代背景下，在线少儿英语教育作为一种新型教学模式备受关注。但目前国内外针对在线少儿英语教育的教育模式的系统研究仍较少。本文以在线少儿英语教育的领军品牌VIPKID为研究对象，以二语习得理论当中的输入假说、输出假说和互动假说为理论基础，通过文献分析法和观察法，对VIPKID的教学模式进行总体描述与客观分析。研究发现，在线少儿英语教育在很大程度上体现了以学生为主体，教师为主导的现代教学思想。再加上其利用了人工智能与大数据应用进行教学，因此能很好的实现个性化学习，有效地增强了学习的针对性，从而提高个人的学习效率。其教学模式值得借鉴。最后，根据研究结果，本文对我国的英语教学改革提出了几点建议。
