Abstract: The “Communicative English Course” has changed the traditional teaching method and teaching mode of the college general course “College English Listening and Speaking”, and practices the concepts of flipped classroom and “blended learning”. Students watch videos online before class to complete simple self-learning tasks, while difficult tasks are completed through face-to-face instruction to solve the problems of large differences in students’ language abilities and relatively fewer course hours in traditional teaching. Teachers and students collaborate and interact in the real classroom to discuss together, and with the help of information-based teaching tools, teachers get access to the learning situation of students to solve the problem of insufficient interaction in traditional classroom. Finally, students consolidate what they have learned through online assignments and upload their answers anytime and anywhere. At the same time, teachers make use of fragmented time to give feedback.

Key words: Flipped classroom, "Online + offline" hybrid teaching, College general courses, Information-based teaching
