ABSTRACT

Against the backdrop of accelerating globalization, the demand for international communication of Chinese culture is growing. However, current college English classroom teaching still has problems such as a single discourse system, insufficient cross-cultural expression ability, and rigid teaching model in terms of "telling Chinese stories well". Based on the concept of Outcome-Based Education (OBE), this study constructs an innovative college English classroom teaching transformation model to enhance students' cross-cultural narrative ability and international communication awareness. First, this study combines the core principles of the OBE concept, clarifies the teaching goal of "telling Chinese stories well", and emphasizes the cultivation of students' cross-cultural expression ability, critical thinking and multimodal narrative ability. Then, in terms of teaching design, project-based learning (PBL) and other methods are used to conduct Chinese cultural narrative training in English. In addition, with the help of learning analytics technology, data tracking and feedback optimization are carried out on the performance in different teaching links to ensure dynamic adjustment and personalized improvement of teaching strategies. Finally, through the deep integration of the flipped classroom model, students complete background knowledge learning before class, conduct interactive discussions and practical exercises in class, and form an output-oriented teaching closed loop. The experimental results show that the experimental group students scored significantly better in cross-cultural expression ability, cultural symbol conversion ability and critical thinking. In the cross-cultural expression ability evaluation experiment, the average scores of the experimental group are 4.58, 4.59 and 4.60, while the scores of the control group are 3.22, 3.32 and 3.29. In addition, the teaching model based on the OBE concept also shows significant advantages in the accuracy of symbol conversion and creative expression, further proving the effectiveness of the teaching model in cultural communication awareness and other aspects.
