Abstract

The “Double Reduction” policy has been implemented for more than three years, and the 5+2 Model has also been fully implemented for one year. Changes in education policies inevitably affect undergraduate majors related to primary school education in normal universities because the new education policies have put forward higher requirements for prospective English teachers on how to integrate into primary school teaching, research, management and other work more quickly. This paper, based on the Theory of Constructivism, explores innovative practical teaching model for English education majors from two dimensions: integration and immersion. By integrating professional skills courses, knowledge courses, and comprehensive training courses, this practical teaching model aims to achieve integrated development of English education majors by linking in-class and after-class, on-line and off-line, on-campus and off-campus resources. Project-based management and circular progression measures are adopted to cultivate students’ practical and innovative abilities.
