ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore the level-based teaching model of college English listening and speaking under the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) concept and conducts an empirical study on it. The study first elaborates on the basic connotation of the OBE concept and its application value in college English teaching. Then, it constructs a framework for college English listening and speaking teaching based on the OBE concept, which is applied to three levels of non-English major college students: Level A (high level), Level B (medium level), and Level C (low level). Each level selects two parallel classes as experimental and control groups to compare and analyze the performance of students at different levels in listening and speaking abilities. The results show that the level-based teaching model under the guidance of the OBE concept can better meet the needs of high-level and medium-level students, while it has no practical significance for low-level students. Finally, the paper proposes challenges encountered in the implementation process and suggestions for improvement, providing a new perspective and practical guidance for college English listening and speaking teaching.
