OBE-Based College English Curriculum Design and Teaching Practice in Dalian Neusoft University of Information

Nowadays, Outcome-Based Education (OBE) has gained increasing prominence in China and it has been formally implemented among all schools of Dalian Neusoft University of Information (DUI). One of the key concepts of OBE is that teaching should be driven by outcomes that are desirable for students, and that teaching and assessment are adjusted to serve the goals of the expected outcomes. The essay reports on a curriculum design and teaching practice in the curriculum of College English for non-English majors under the guidance of OBE in School of Foreign Language, DUI. The findings suggest that both the students and the teachers hold a generally positive attitude towards OBE, but there are still plentiful of issues concerning the successful implementation of OBE at curriculum level. It is hoped that this study will shed some light on how OBE can be implemented successfully at curriculum level in the future.
