Abstract

Various emerging technologies have transformed education in the past decades. Blended-learning combining the strengths of both traditional face-to-face teaching approaches and online learning activities enhances the effectiveness of teaching and learning. Taking English Public Speaking Course as a case in point, the paper introduces the design of a blended-learning model which adopts Rain Classroom, a smart teaching tool to facilitate effective teaching and learning. A blended learning model as such demonstrates a new approach to training public speaking skills by improving students’ learning autonomy, enhancing interactions and fostering a learning community.
