Based on the framework of action learning, this study attempted to construct an online-to-offline (O2O) blended class of integrated English based on the flipped classroom, focusing on cultivating students' listening and speaking capability and critical thinking ability, improving students' competence to analyze and solve problems using English, and giving full play to students' personality characteristics. This action research spanned from February 2019 to June 2019. Taking the 130 students of integrated English class of College of International Business (CIB) of Zhejiang Yuexiu Foreign Languages University (ZYUFL) as samples, this paper adopted qualitative research methods, through the analysis of log observation and reflection reports, combining with comparisons of the quantitative online data. This paper drew the conclusion that the O2O blended learning based on flipped classroom in the integrated English class was the practice of innovative teaching mode and it created interactive classes of integrated English.
