ABSTRACT

With the rapid development of information age and information technology, people are expected to have information literacy, and they should have the capacity to search, select, classify, utilize, manage, exchange information. College teacher and students, who are highly educated and regarded as the representatives of modern knowledge, information, technology and skills, should all be equipped with information literacy. In college, English class is of great significance, and its teaching output efficiency is an important index for foreign language teaching. In traditional English class, the class capacity is huge and the teacher is the center of the classroom, so students are imparted knowledge passively; however, by employing digital teaching platform such as "WE Learn", the learning efficiency and teaching effectiveness can be improved significantly. The essay aims to explore the digitized teaching model with the application of "WE Learn" digital teaching platform. The research process of the digitized teaching consists of three stages: pre-class, in-class, post-lass, with each stage featuring diversified digitized teaching tasks to enhance the students' digital learning capabilities. As a result, digitized English teaching model by "WE Learn" platform not only enables the students to have information literacy, but also enhances their interests, motivation, output, achievements of foreign language learning.
