Abstract

This study focuses on the application of the “PBL (problem-based learning) + Flipped Classroom” teaching model in bilingual education, aiming to explore its potential to enhance the quality and effectiveness of bilingual teaching. PBL emphasizes learning through the resolution of real-world problems, while the Flipped Classroom advocates that students acquire basic knowledge through self-study before class, dedicating class time to in-depth discussions and practical activities. The integration of these two teaching models in bilingual education aims to stimulate students’ interest in learning, improve their autonomous learning abilities, enhance critical thinking, and foster cross-cultural communication skills. Through literature review, case analysis, and empirical research, this study first examines the current applications and challenges of PBL and the Flipped Classroom in bilingual education. Subsequently, it elaborates on the specific implementation steps of the “PBL + Flipped Classroom” teaching model in bilingual education, including problem design, preview material provision, cooperative learning, classroom activities, and language support. A comparative experiment is then conducted to analyze the impact of this teaching model on students’ learning motivation, academic performance, and cross-cultural communication skills. The results indicate that the “PBL + Flipped Classroom” teaching model significantly improves students’ learning motivation and participation, enhances academic performance, and effectively boosts their cross-cultural communication skills. Furthermore, this model aids in cultivating students’ autonomous learning abilities and critical thinking, providing an innovative and effective approach to bilingual education. This study offers new ideas and insights for the field of bilingual education, which is of great significance for promoting the innovation and development of bilingual teaching models.
