A Review of Da Liu In her study, Liu developed a new model for English teaching, which is a combination of ESP, MOOC and Flipped Classroom. Tis novel model is named MFE, which stands for MOOC, Flipped and ESP. She concluded that there are three unique advantages of this model which are suggestions to the future education. Tere is a worldwide call for papers in ESP and the ESP courses are prevailing nationwide. Yet with the limitations of traditional teaching models as Liu puts it in this study the development of ESP has been blocked. TEFL is critically in need of methods, techniques and models such as MFE to bring theor- etical methodologies into practice. As Brown [1] argued, ELT needs more practice than theory. Te crucial role that appropriate teaching materials, teacher feedback, and learning strategies paly in classrooms have been the target of a large body of literature [2-7]. In this Paper, Liu Argues the need for MFE Model and Explains Four Reasons as the Causes for MFE: • “Online learning is the new tendency and the only road for edu- cation. MOOC plays the leading role in this area. • Online learning cannot develop well without the advantage of traditional universities. Universities play the irreplaceable role in education. • “Flipped classroom” thrives nowadays with the great improve- ment of student learning, Khan School considers it the most important revolution in educating technology. It s also the best teaching style combining MOOC, “fipped classroom” and traditional education [8] • Tis model is put into practice of ESP courses.” Te MFE Model proposed by Liu is carried out according to the theory of constructivism in English learning. It includes in-class, out- side, cooperation and materials. MFE exchanges the roles of students and lecturers. According to Tyler [9] the framework of one course con- tains four factors: purpose, content, teaching organization and teach- ing evaluation. MFE is implemented according to these four factors. Tis is one of the shortcomings of this model which the framework in- itially is based on a general, outdated framework, even though, a new- er framework developed by Latu [10] considered seven factors to have signifcant correlations with the students’ learning of English macro skills, they were: learners’ ages; their perceived ability; frequency of use of English; use of English to read for enjoyment; use of English for communication at home; integrative motivation; and career aspir- ations. Liu argued that MFE is not only for English learning, it mainly de- velops students’ ability in language, major knowledge, learning skills, communication and so on. MFE intends to cultivate the “Excellent adaptable international talents”, considering the high speed of word development. MFE contains both in-class and outside. Te content contains four aspects: online platform, textbook, MOOC and self- supporting materials. Te evaluation and scoring is not only depended on lectures, it is the combination of evaluation of students, lecturers and online. Tis is the second shortcoming of the model, as this is the era and area of specifcity it is needed not to be general in outline and discipline. Even it is needed to be specifc for TEFL or TESL [11]. She indicated for the organization of MFE, it contains three parts: self study, interactive section, evaluation and tutoring. For the course, in the frst phase, students will master metallurgical words and basic knowledge; in the second phase, students do research of the area. Consequently, the efects of MFE are evaluated in three parts: the improvement of the score, the evaluation of the learning strategies and feedback. Te paper compares the scores of the experimental class of 35 students before and afer MFE, and also makes the comparison of the scores between the experimental class and the control class. Te results indicated that MFE helps students in tests. Tere comes the third shortcoming, as it is based on constructivism there is a necessity
