Abstract

As English becomes the mainstream language in communication and education worldwide, more and more Chinese universities emphasize the importance of adding English content to the higher education curriculum. This paper explores the integration of English content into Computer Science education in Chinese universities, with a focus on bilingual programming courses. It proposes a blended learning strategy that combines face-to-face classroom interaction with platform-based self-directed learning. It designed the experiment and the number of participants is 84. The experimental results show that the adoption of this blended teaching strategy can enhance students' enthusiasm for bilingual programming courses and facilitate students in achieving the desired learning effect.
