ABSTRACT

Drawing on OBE, this study constructs a teaching mode of EAP (English for Academic Purpose) reading based on online databases, and applies the mode in teaching practice. The results show that compared to traditional teaching method, this model is more popular among students. With the help of online databases, this teaching mode of EAP reading integrates the acquisition of the English language knowledge with the learning of professional knowledge, fosters the students' critical thinking, and therefore significantly enhances students' EAP reading ability.
