The research shows that the English teaching system, through the integration between information technology and LAMP, could be turned into a resource module to be used as a plug-in for online education; the proposed English teaching platform is a new-generation system for the teaching and learning of English reading, grammar, speaking and listening. The proposed platform greatly improves the teaching methods and the learning efficiency, laying a theoretical basis for the construction of the new teaching system platform.


Introduction
With the development of information technology and the Internet, people's living, learning, working and social exchanges have undergone great changes [1][2]. English is one of the most widely used languages in the world. In today's society where information technology is developing rapidly, the requirements for the English level of social members, especially the new generation of students, are increasing gradually, so that individuals can better conform to the trend of social development, meet the working demands, and improve their living quality and personal abilities [3][4][5]. The level of English is not only a means of evaluating students' foreign language performance, but also one of the important factors affecting their future personal development and employment opportunities [6][7].
With the implementation and advancement of the new curriculum reform, network information technology has begun to be applied in the education field. Information technology has gradually changed the teaching philosophy and teaching methods of schools and teachers [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. However, the application level of network technology in English teaching is far from meeting the needs of students' learning. The online education is continuously integrated with the traditional teaching methods, and is constantly supplemented and improved in the process of interactive use, thus forming an English teaching system that is feasible in the teaching practice [18].
Most of the English teaching in current primary and secondary schools and universities is still taught by teachers using PPT or other methods as complementary. The course time for students to study a language is extremely limited. There is no effective English learning tool or assistant teaching platform for them to use after class, so they can't study the content taught by teachers in the class systematically [19][20]. Therefore, most of the schools and foreign language teaching institutions are in need of a practical English course teaching platform to assist students in English learning, so that they can improve their English level and English communication skills [21][22].
LAMP is a powerful web application program platform that has been gradually applied in the development of online teaching platforms [23]. Therefore, based on online education and LAMP technology, this paper combined the advantages of traditional teaching and network technologies, and designed and developed an English teaching platform that can be operated jointly by students, teachers and administrators. The research has important practical significance for teachers to carry out mixed teaching and improve students' English learning efficiency, and it lays a theoretical foundation for the research and development of new teaching platforms.

Basic Theories of Teaching Platform

Online education
Online education, also known as network teaching system or network support platform, is generally divided into Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS). The former is mainly to manage the administrative and academic affairs of teaching, optimize the management procedures, and improve the efficiency of teaching management. The latter is a teaching management program for teachers and students, which can help students arrange the required courses and promote the learning exchanges between students. For teachers, they can use the system to better understand the learning situation of the students.
Domestic network teaching systems are generally composed of three subsystems, namely the education administration subsystem, the teacher teaching subsystem and the student learning subsystem. The specific content includes: system management tools, new curriculum development tools, convenient communication tools, comprehensive detection functions, and systematic data management and statistics functions. This paper combined with the problems encountered by teachers and students in the actual operation process to research and develop the English teaching platform based on online education technology and the LAMP technology.

Online education technology
Online education technology is a virtual teaching environment, in which teachers and students use the virtual network to teach and learn. It is an Internet-based software package with characteristics of simple operation, low cost and wide application. The Internet-based teaching platform built for teachers and students is no longer limited to the traditional face-to-face teaching method, the learning time is free, and the learning objects are limitless. In addition, the source code of the software is open, and everyone can copy and modify it, therefore, the software package is constantly upgraded, and more people's wisdom can be integrated into it. It can run not only on mainstream operating systems (Windows and Linux), but also on other operating systems. It has high security and can support international data resources such as SCORM and IMS at the same time.

LAMP technology
LAPMP is a very powerful web application platform that is a combination of multiple independent programs, including Linux (computer operating system), Apache (Web server), PHP (hypertext preprocessing language), MySQL (Data management system). The software developed by the LAMP combination has low cost, good performance, and strong stability, so its market share is very high. According to statistics, LAMP provides 75% of the global data access traffic.

Research and Development of English Teaching Platform

System requirements
The establishment of the English teaching system not only enables learning interaction during the class, but also helps students to practice and consolidate knowledge after class, moreover, it also helps teachers to prepare lessons and master the learning situation of the students. For the framework of the teaching system to be constructed, we need to start from the actual needs of teaching, and design a structural system that is easy to operate, flexible in system, and can import test questions and perform classified detection.
The system mainly includes two parts: teacher back-stage English course management and student front-stage learning, in addition, there are other users such as system administrators. In the system, students can choose the question setting method by themselves, and teachers can set the curriculum teaching type and import teaching videos or documents quickly. At the same time, the stability and operability of the system are very good, which is in line with the basic requirements of English teaching courses.

System function and architecture model
Combining with the specific requirements of the English teaching system and the system requirements mentioned above, system function modules were designed as shown in Fig 1.   Fig. 1. System function modules The entire English teaching system is divided into three modules, the student module, the teacher module and the system administrator module. The function of the student module is relatively simple. First, students need to register an account, fill in relevant information, and then log in to the system and enter the system to modify the relevant personal information; then they can choose the learning courses, which mainly include course videos of each learnt chapter and comprehensive exercises that can help them find their own shortcomings as soon as possible.
The content in the teacher module is more complex. Teachers not only need to manage the student name list, but also their corresponding courses, learning content, teaching videos, and the exercises question banks in the back stage. can be conducted in batches. In addition, if teachers make a format error in the teaching information importing process, the system would give a prompt. The English exercise questions are randomly selected from the English test question bank by the system. Teachers only need to set the scores and basic information of the test questions.
The system administrator module is mainly responsible for the management of the database and the users. The management of the database is supported by the graphical software, and the operation is very simple and fast.
The system flow is divided into the front-stage student practice flow and the backstage teacher management flow. See Fig 2 and   The English teaching system was developed using technologies that combines the online education technology and the LAMP technology, its working steps are: first, the client end sends a request to the Apache server, after the server receives the request, it hands over the PHP segment program to the corresponding engine for processing and analyzing, and performs join query in MySQL database, and then the data returns to the PHP, and PHP process the data and sends it back to the Apache server, and finally displays it on the client end.

System platform design
This paper combined the online education technology and the LAMP technology to develop the English teaching platform, it took the English teaching system as the resource module, programmed the interface of online education technology, and modified the development files, so that the English teaching system could be applied to the system as a plug-in of the online education technology.
The system implementation structure is shown in Fig 4. First, it processes in the data processing layer, using the corresponding data processing functions in each function module, and then, it accepts the data submitted by the transaction layer, programs the corresponding query data, and finally uses the HTML code to send it to the client end for display.  The proposed system was jointly developed by online education technology and the LAMP technology to facilitate the introduction of resources in the English teaching platform as a module into the system. According to the development documents of online education technology, create a db folder in it and save it as a mysql. sql file. Open the server and database, enter the corresponding platform URL in the address bar, the system will automatically identify and check, and then automatically install the teaching platform into the online education platform. The student login interface is shown in Fig 5.

Fig. 5. Login interface
By linking the corresponding sites or files to the English teaching resource function and filling the local address of English learning course to the corresponding parameters, the system setting is completed, and then the newly developed system can be used for English teaching activities.
