Abstract


In this paper, based on cognitive science and foreign language teaching theories, we construct a web-based hybrid learning model, path and platform to cultivate students’ comprehensive language application ability. Meanwhile, we choose 1000 English words suitable for college students to memorize, group them into 24 units with the help of the Mint English memory software and study the memory results of these students. By horizontal and vertical comparison of the test data, we conclude that the web-based software is very effective in helping college students memorize English words.
