ABSTRACT: Guided by the OBE (Outcome-Based Education) concept, this study designs the teaching in reverse based on learning outcomes and social demands, forming a major English reading course system with practice as the main focus. It explores students’ engagement in this practice course, summarizes the suitable teaching mode for the English reading practice course, and addresses the common issues of low student engagement and relatively backward use of information technology in general reading courses. The research data indicates that after the reform, students’ engagement in the practice teaching mode of the reading course becomes higher in terms of behavioral, cognitive and emotional dimension, and good learning outcomes have been achieved.
