Abstract

Traditional online vocabulary coures are not able to meet the needs of IELTS exam participants. It cannot solve the problems arising from content, form and process of learning. In the process of learning students are often perplexed by the trouble of mismatching between objectives and learning resources, lacking of methodological guidance, and insufficient motivation. Through surveys and interviews this research explores learners' strong demands in understanding the background knowledge of subject vocabulary, recognizing synonyms in reading and writing, and applying advanced vocabulary in writing. Micro-class resource library focusing on these demands are constructed through independent video-shooting as well as re-editing of open resources. Teaching experiment at some international schools in Beijing, Shanghai and Suzhou of China is conducted to testify the effectiveness of the teaching design and implementation of the proposed micro-class. The experiment shows that the IELTS vocabulary micro-class designed in this study can effectively help learners improve their vocabulary recognition and application ability in a short term. IELTS Vocabulary micro-class not only meets the learning requirements of traditional online courses, but also meets the needs of teachers in terms of teaching content, teaching process, activity design and online interactive feedback. In this study, the form of micro-class is combined with the vocabulary classification model. In this case a complete teaching system from paper books to online micro-class is constructed, which has certain enlightening significance for online vocabulary teaching. Results show significant improvements can be made to some extent in learners' IELTS vocabulary acquiring, application skills and stronger motivation of learning.
