Abstract

With the rapid development of science and technology, people has entered the mobile information age. In particular, WeChat is not only the representative of mobile information era but also an important part of people's daily life. Educational informationization has become the requirement of the times in the development of contemporary education. The integration of information technology and teaching provides learners with a more convenient and efficient way of learning. Therefore, micro-class featured by “micro” is gradually becoming the leading trend of the campus. Nowadays, more and more teachers and students try to use these new teaching and learning methods. Under this background, the author has carried out the application and practice of English teaching in the WeChat public platform, taking Xi'an University as an example. By sharing knowledge of English that is close to campus life, the project aims to foster students’ interest in English and enhance students' English proficiency. At the same time, this thesis adopts data research method and data contrast analysis method to find that the micro-classroom learning mode based on WeChat platform is welcomed by most English learners.
