The study took place at a high school in Shandong, over three months. Challenges remain: many students rely heavily on rote memorization and exam drilling. The results provide evidence that the model enhances student proficiency through an interactive learning environment. Besides, the model enriches the discourse on learner-centered and constructivist approaches in the Chinese context. The findings offer implications for teachers aiming to balance test preparation with long-term language development, policymakers seeking scalable strategies to improve the quality of English education.
