Abstract :
This paper proposes the general process of blended learning of professional English for computer science designed on the basis of Moodle, and introduces the trinity blended curriculum design which can be represented as "blended resource + blended activity + blended evaluation". Furthermore, according to the characteristics of professional English, we complement the traditional blended activities with both the mobile learning activity design of the fragmented time and the circumstance-based role playing mechanism. The practice of the above blended learning approach is conducted in a lesson of professional English for computer science.
