5、出了相關的例子。文章中作者給出的幾個教學手段，都是在英語教學過程中非常常用的，同時也是大家在平時教學的過程當中最容易忽略的。合理的利用多媒體技術，是調動課堂氣氛和開發(fā)學生思維的最好的方法。在文章的最后，作者就未來英語教學的發(fā)展方向談了自己的看法，未來的社會是一個數(shù)字化的社會，任何活動都和數(shù)字化緊密相關。英語教學的發(fā)展方向也必須從數(shù)字化的視角出發(fā)，這樣才可能讓英語教學更加適應時代的要求。關鍵詞： 多媒體技術 英語教學 網(wǎng)絡教學 設計 發(fā)展方向abstract: in this article, the author introduced how to combine the english te

6、aching with the computer technology, in the authors opinion, the best way of english teaching is to use the multimedia network technique in the english class. this kind of method can make students complete the training of listening, speaking, reading and writing. to make this point clear, the author

7、 also gives some examples. all these examples are the basic ways in multimedia teaching, however, we often ignore them easily. the multimedia approach which used in english calss can make the atmosphere vividly and cultivate the mind of students easily. at the end of this paper, the author talks abo

8、ut the future of english teaching. the society in the future is digtal, nearly every activity can not exist without this. so as to english taching, we should teach english in multimedia approach.key words: the multimedia technique; english teaching; network teaching; the future of english teachingho

9、w to design a college english lesson in multimedia approach1. introduction1.1 the development of multimedia technique in the universitymultimedia as one of the key techniques of the ending century will influence and challenge our universities to a high degree. new techniques in higher education will

10、 change teaching and learning: computer based training, computer assisted learning and teaching will be no longer slogans but will become common like other techniques: such as videoconferencing, lecture on demand or self-instructing courseware. but we think that there will be no real revolution in t

11、eaching and learning techniques. more likely there will be an (sometimes slowly) evolution, because not only techniques have to change but also teachers and students have to adopt themselves to that changes. university research and development and even administration will be influenced by multimedia

12、. a broad variety of information that is now traditionally handled will be performed by multimedia information systems.1.2 the necessity of multimedia in college english teaching.with the development of multimedia technique at a full speed in morden society, multimedia used in english teaching has a

13、lready become an irresistible strength, which influences all aspects of the english teaching in the new century. the multimedia technique is a kind of teaching method, which includes pictures, voice, image and words. it has pushed the college english teaching into an information age. to college engl

14、ish, it is also a deep development of content, method and model. the multimedia pronunciation laboratory and hardware equipment of network have offered the good opportunity for the reform of education. meanwhile, the development and application of different teaching software have created the good co

15、ndition in order to accelerate the reform of the college english teaching. the traditional college english teaching fully exposes much limitation and lags behind; students trained under the old system have been already unable to meet the social requisition for creative talent of new period. that is,

16、 developing in order to comply with era, the reform, which carried on english teaching of the university, has already been the trend of the times, and the auxiliary college english teaching of multimedia is exactly the best choice of the present college english teaching. 2.the current situation of t

17、his study around chinain this information age, some modernized teaching methods: such as multimedia technology and internet have been used for education rapidly. they will change the essence of traditional education from thinking, teaching method, teaching course and even the relationship between te

18、acher and student. the different levels and multimension of modern teaching methods make english to be taught with excellent pictures and texts, whats more, it also combines video and sound together. thus, it enriches extremely the ways and structure of english teaching. multimedia approach makes mo

19、dern english teaching have got better teaching result and advantage, which cant be compared with traditional teaching.on october 19, 2003, zhang yaoxue who works in higher education department of ministry of education announced that the government would adopt the great reform to the public english t

20、eaching of undergraduates in the university, that is to change the current passive teaching mode “books + activitities + the top position of teachers in the big classes” into the center of computer teaching modes. this mode is integrated application, which contains individualization openness and ini

21、tiative. we hope to create a language-teaching environment which can really agree with the student's demands. this will make our teaching improve a lot. deeply speaking, it will help the teachers know how to make an efficient teaching while facing students with different english levels. in fact,

22、 over the past several years, many schools have already had beneficial try in multimedia approach in english teaching. however, as one of the students in foreign languages college of shihezi university, always feel the multimedia approach still has some serious or light problems, it does not totally

23、 reach the expectation and requirement of english multimedia teaching for teachers and students, thus it weakened the due glamour of english multimedia teaching.3. three major factors of english teaching in multimedia approach 3.1 teacher's factor.at the beginning of the eighties, when the first

24、 batch of computers appeared in classroom of the developed countries, someone thought very confidently that it would bring a revolution to the educational field. more than ten years later, this revolution appeared in numerous fields successfully, but it has not happened all the time in the school! t

25、here are a lot of reasons to cause this kind of situation. first of all, the idea lags behind technology, compared with the situation that multimedia technology develops rapidly. the ideas of english teachers lag behind, knowledge wears out, and methods of teaching falls behind, all of these are the

26、 very serious situation in front of us. truly speaking, the purpose of the application in the multimedia approach is to promote teaching naturally, but many english teachers are affected by traditional teaching idea too deeply. they are always to be around how to teach from preparing lesson to givin

27、g lessons, how to write an essay to " teach " all, but regard multimedia approach as traditional object in teaching. the result is that they turn the multimedia laboratory into " the pronunciation room, video center ", and this will certainly limit the scope of application in mul

28、timedia approach in english teaching. it also makes the advantages of the multimedia approach in english teaching which cant be really reflected. secondly, computer skills of teachers are anxious to be improved in a hurry. such a brand-new teaching way of multimedia approach in english teaching is a

29、 kind of new challenge for our teachers. during the course of english multimedia teaching, the teacher is not only an expresser, but also a processor and handler of the information delivery, this requires teacher to keep up with the development of the multimedia technology of the computer. according

30、 to the analysis at present, most teachers are not good at computer when they face the modern teaching theories, teaching methods and teaching medias. the multimedia english teacher should prepare lesson, as well as choose and design the teaching software according to the teaching task and goal. the

31、 computer knowledge and skills give them extra more work load virtually. as time passes, the teacher's enthusiasm will be influenced, even will make them attend to one thing and lose sight of another, and more serious, it will make them lose encourgement when they face the difficulties.3.2 stude

32、nt's factoras everyone knows, the leading mind of teachers has decided our educational thoughts for a long time. they always arranged everything from content of courses, method of teaching, courses of teaching and even exercises which students did properly in advance. this kind of view emphasize

33、s the teacher's dominational function excessively. it also believes that the teacher is an educator, and it is the subject of the teaching course. but students receive knowledge from the educator, they are the objects of the teaching course. they should accept outdoor influence passively, this s

34、tates that inculcate passively in the course of teaching field will lead to a terrible result. quite a few of students who are trained out under this kind of structure in education field have lower subjective initiatives, lacking of independence of studying, relying on the teacher overly. when these

35、 students get used to the textbook made by brand-new multimedia approach in english teaching, they will think rhythm is too fast, being heavy, the amount of information is too heavy for them. thus it is hard for them to adapt themselves to this kind of circumstances. as a result, they have produced

36、and resisted mood even to the multimedia teaching, the grades are difficult to be improved obviously and naturally, on the contrary, they may even drop. 3.3 teaching software factor although multimedia software of english teaching is not rare on the market, so far as its content, there is little out

37、standing software related to course. some software is made in a rough way in order to pursue the economic benefits. some ones are too far to meet the requirements of teaching. whats more, some holds the banner of multimedia, but the mode of teaching is extremely single. they cant accomplish the teac

38、hing task and goal. having bought and used these kinds of software, we have to admit this software let teachers and students feel dull and have hesitatation to discard. there are a large number of disadvantages and defects existing in the multimedia software of english teaching. first of all, most o

39、f software does not combine with the language learning, that is, they lack of intention. they are only simple figures of teacher's teaching notes, how much it has made content of courses vivid is still not very clear. it also can't stimulate student's thinking profoundly in a deep way. t

40、hey just combine the content and game together, neither vividly nor impracticably. secondly, a lot of software does not fit the theoretical foundation of modern english teaching in designing; the systematicness and interaction also need to be strengthened. some software themes are indeterminated, it

41、 is disorder and unsystematic, some software usesseducational pattern as taking an entrance examination to the computer. the essence of this software is the same as exercises practicing.4. how to teach and design college english within multimedia language environment to create the valuable language

42、learning environment, the traditional technology of language teaching should be taken into consideration. appropriate pedagogical methods choice to be realised in meellt are based on the analysis of progressive language teaching techniques. the main emphasis is made on the development of emotional c

43、onversational language by activization patterns which characterized the spoken style. our approach to the language courseware creation is based on the study of samples of different languages in different situations. we should try to pay learners attention not only to language teaching components (so

44、und patterns, graphic patterns, patterns of vocabulary usage, the use of particular patterns in particular situations), but to achievement of adequate delivering of his/her own thoughts.the main instructional goal we tried to achieve is the realization of collaborative, interactive and conversationa

45、l language training within meellt. it could be achieved by:1. creation environment similar to a real conversational situation with a view of language as patterned social behaviour 2. creation of maximum aspects of real communication 3. selection of learning contents of the courseware on what is usef

46、ul and natural and as close the living context as possible. as the development of communicative skills is the main object of language teaching, the learning contents should encourage what is considered to be a communicative methodology. it means that the learner has to be taught of solving different

47、 communicative tasks in target language as the result of his/her learning process. communicative methods we have tried to realize in meellt embodied the following features:1. learners strong motivation 2. realistic activities 3. encouragement to work closely with peers 4. learners responsibility for

48、 their own learning skills, self-control with tutors role as an instructor, consultant or monitor. 4.1 learners rolesthere has been a shift in learner-centered paradigm which changes the position and roles of learner and tutor in the educational process as well as impact of learning itself. the lear

49、ner should become an active participant in his/her knowledge construction and much more responsible for an actively seeking solutions to problems contained within the knowledge area. the deepest usable kind of knowledge is best attained by learners when they have a shared cognitive set with the inst

50、ructor actively construct their knowledge. another important point is the awareness that learning will no longer be seen as individual process: knowledge is a phenomena between persons. collaborative learning becames one of the powerful principles of virtual learning environment concept. in such env

51、ironment learners are expected to work together to generate deeper levels of understanding and critical evaluation of materials. next point is that learning becames less and less a matter of information processing. the interaction model allows the learners to shape their learning through experimenta

52、tion with language and through mediation between learner and learning materials provided by the tutor. for this reason “the learning task” is seen as important issue within the learning framework.4.2 tutors controla student centred learning approach does not mean no involvement from the tutor. the t

53、utor serves not only as a guide in the educational process, but also he is one of the participants. the tutor 's role should be to help students develop their learning and study skills, so that they have the confidence and ability to take more control over their own learning. this role involves

54、guiding, clarifying, and advising students, helping them resolve problems, and providing further examples for understanding of aid. this means that the use of multimedia technologies cannot replace the teacher, but change his role in the learning process. multimedia technologies give additional poss

55、ibilities and advantages for realization of interactive model of conversational language learning. english language teachers now have the facilities to enrich distance learning software with images, sound, animation and video. but it goes without saying that the new technology need investigation to

56、answer variety of questions if correctly used multimedia innovations could make language learning fascinating and memorable enough. and then, the skill orientation to language learning imply that the introduction of multimedia elements is very purposeful in the following ways:1.to practice listening

57、 skills 2. to practice pronunciation 3. to enable oral as well as written task to be completed 4. to put multimedia into the form of video sequences 5. to provide graphical imagery which aids comprehension 6. to provide images which stir emotion and enrich the learning experience beyond that of the

58、printed text.there are two main highly beneficial points of educational multimedia application : learning tasks and communications.4.3.learning tasksthe interactive model of meellt allows the learner shape their learning through mediation between learner and learning materials. for this reason the learning task is seen as important mechan
