Research on English Teaching Model of JiTT in Higher Vocational College Based on Mobile Teaching Assistant

Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT), translated as "Timely Teaching", is a new kind of teaching and learning strategy that appeared in American college in the late 20th century. In recent years, JiTT has been gradually applied in higher vocational education. The specific research content of the project is taking "JiTT" as a kind of teaching mode change, taking the advantage of mobile information resources as well as teaching assistants, giving students a strong control over the autonomous learning. Students can watch videos before or in class by mobile teaching assistants, through teaching guidance and technical tools for self-organization of inquiry-based learning, through group discussion and teacher answering questions in class to internalize knowledge, and they are encouraged to collaborate with other students in learning. In building a learning environment, teachers should also consider how to supervise students' learning behavior and provide timely feedback to students who have problems. In the course of classroom teaching, teachers should rearrange the traditional classroom, break the pattern of "teachers in the upper and students in the lower ", and create a harmonious and equal learning environment. This model has great inspiration for the English teaching in higher vocational colleges.
