Abstract

This study focuses on how to construct a new model of college English autonomous learning in the “Internet Plus” era. By means of questionnaires, interviews and tests, it analyzes the role of learning communities in stimulating and cultivating students’ awareness of autonomous learning, as well as improving their autonomous learning ability and pragmatic competence. The empirical test shows that learning communities are conducive to students’ autonomous learning and have a certain promoting effect on college English teaching.
