A novel framework for college english teaching based on mobile social networks and student psychology

Abstract

In recent years, mobile social networks (MSNs) have been adopted for teaching practices in colleges, thanks to their convenience and stability. This paper firstly analyses the feasibility of applying the MSNs in college English teaching, and then discusses current psychological status of college students. On this basis, a MSNs-based framework was set up for English teaching in colleges. Next, a contrastive experiment was carried out on two classes of English majors. The two classes respectively received MSNs-based English teaching and traditional mode of English teaching. The psychology of all the subjects was examined in different aspects. The results show that the use of the MSNs greatly promoted the psychology and performance of English learners. This research further promotes the integration of cutting-edge technologies in college English education.
