Abstract	In order to provide real Business English learning context, to greatly improve teaching and learning efficiency, to cultivate student’s autonomous learning ability, research on flipped classroom teaching is made in this paper. Background theories for flipped classroom are briefly discussed. A new flipped classroom teaching model is designed and constructed. Business English Curriculum under the new model is further designed and presented. And the new teaching model is also applied in Business English teaching. To assess the application effect of the new flipped classroom teaching model, a survey is conducted and presented at the end of the probationary period. Questionnaire and interview are applied. The results show that the newly-developed model has many advantages over traditional teaching. The new model reconstructs Business English learning process into three phases; it breaks through the limitations of time and space and allows for individualized learning; the follow-up assessment system provides instantaneous feedback and ensures personalized teaching and learning. Drawbacks and challenges of the new model are also pointed out. E-learning resource is not rich enough to meet the demands of students at different levels. The assessment function is to be improved to reflect students’ learning more exactly and objectively.
