Thinking on the application of multimedia into college english teaching.

1.The Current Status of Multimedia Teaching Method in College English Teaching. 

       College English teaching is to set up a harmonious and high-effective teaching atmosphere in the English class to make students take part in the practice. Thus we can cultivate their listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities, which are the final teaching aim-developing the students' English intercommunicative ability.

  2. Relationship between the Qualities of the College English Teachers and Multimedia Teaching.

      Many men of insight have realized that our country should make innovation to the College English Test Band 4 and Band 6 because these exams have affected the normal English teaching.


   3. Misunderstandings and Kisadvantages of Multimedia Teaching in College English Teaching.

       3.1 Teachers attending to trifles and

 neglectiong the essentials, and English 

classroom becoming a demonstrating hall of 

computer functions

       3.2 Teachers depending on multimedia 

teaching method excessively and neglecting its

 auxiliary teaching function.

       3.3 Some teachers being impercipient to multimedia teaching method.
           
 4. Some Suggestions on Multimedia Teaching 

in College English Teaching.

4.1 Teachers should change their ideas of using multimedia teaching.

4.2 We should devote major efforts to

on network circumstance
    And I learned about "On The Problems and Strategies of Multimedia Technology in English Teaching"

1.There are Necessity of Application of Multimedia Technology to English Teaching.

         To Cultivate Students' Interest in Study.
         To Promote Students' Communication Capacity.
         To Widen Students' Knowledge to Gain an Insightfull Understanding to Western Culture.
            
        To Improve Teaching Effect.

2.There are Problems Arising From Application of Multimedia Technology to English Teaching.
         Major Means Replaced by the Assisting One.
Application of multimedia technology is an assisting instrument to achieve the projected teaching effect. If totally dependent on multimedia devices duing teaching, the teachers may be turned into slaves to the multimedia and can not play the leading role in teaching.
               Loss of Speaking Communication.

That English class should be carried through all in English language.

              The Shrinking of Students' Thinking Potential.
          Language teaching is different from science subjects, for language teaching does not require demonstration by various steps, rather, the tense and orderly atmosphere is formed through questions and answers between teachers and students.
               Abstract Thinking Replaced by Imaginal Thinking.
The process of cognition goes through perceptual stage and rational stage. It also applies to studying process.


3. There are Suggestions and Strategies to the Existing Problems.
 
              The Beauty of Courseware Is not the Sole Pursuit.
The introduction to each lesson and speaking communication are good way to improve students' listening and apeaking which the computer cannot fulfill. Therefor, teachers' interpretation shall not be overlooked

              The Computer Screen can't Substitute the Blackboard.

Teachers need to enrich the content on the blackboard eith emerging of new questions raised by the students.

              Power Point can not Take the Place of Student's Thinking and Practices.
Teachers need to encourage the students to use their own mind and speak more, actively join in class practice; we should not overuse the courseware merely in the hope of adding the modernized feature to class teaching.

               Traditional Teaching instruments and Devices should not be Overlooked.Teachers are supposed to choose appropriate media and instrument based on the requirements of teaching and integrate multimedia instrument.

                 Multimedia Technology should not be Overused.
  The more interference of teaching information during transmission, the less the students take from the language materials.
