Exploration and Application of Project-based Tasks in University English Teaching —Taking the Enhancement of Global Competence of Non-English Majors’ Undergraduate Students as an Example
With the deepening development of globalization, cultivating students’ global competence has become an important goal of talent training in developed countries. According to the requirements of the University English Teaching Guide, university English teaching should cultivate students’ ability to engage in public communication and international academic dialogues, and advocate the combination of professional background and liberal arts and humanities. In this paper, through the application of project-based studying mode in college English classrooms, we collect the enhancement of non-English major undergraduates’ global competence by means of questionnaires. Data visualization and analysis are carried out to conduct a more in-depth study on the facilitating effect of project-based tasks on non- English major undergraduates’ learning. It is found that project-based studying has a significant positive facilitating effect on the English learning ability, global competence, professional competence and practical problem-solving ability of non-English undergraduate majors with different English proficiency levels. Meanwhile, there is a difference in the degree of promotion for students with different English fundamentals. In view of this phenomenon, this paper puts forward suggestions such as tiered teaching to promote project-based teaching to further adapt to students’ needs.
