Abstract: Organic chemistry laboratory, as one of the four core laboratory courses for chemistry undergraduates, plays an irreplaceable role in enhancing students’ practical skills and fostering creative thinking. The use of English-language instruction significantly supports students in tracking cutting-edge technologies and engaging in international academic communication. Our university’s Organic Chemistry Laboratory English course adopts the “flipped classroom + MOOC (Massive Open Online Course)” teaching model. With a “student-centered and problem-oriented” approach, this model enhances students’ ability for self-directed learning and knowledge integration. The course effectively promotes deep learning, broadens the depth and scope of laboratory teaching, and improves the level of international talent development.
