Abstract
The advent of digitalization has catalyzed a paradigm shift within the educational landscape, necessitating the development of English ecological classrooms that are congruent with the smartphone era. This scholarly inquiry posits the conceptualization of a sunflower model for smartphone-facilitated English ecological classrooms, which is grounded in an ecological educational framework. The model is designed to optimize the smartphone's multifaceted roles as a pre-class learning condition analyzer, content disseminator, interactive question-and-answer mediator, tailored difficulty adjuster, learner interest cultivator, and post-class assessment and guidance facilitator. The overarching objective is to foster an English learning environment characterized by synergy, engagement, individualization, and enthusiasm. Empirical evidence from pedagogical trials employing this model has indicated substantial pedagogical efficacy. The establishment of such English ecological classrooms necessitates a pioneering vision, stratified administration, and a multifaceted approach to governance, thereby fostering the emergence of innovative educational paradigms in the digital education epoch.
