Owing to the globalization, the English language is taught as the foreign language or the second language in most non-English-speaking countries all over the w
13、orld. The 21st century is an information age and an era of knowledge-based economy. As the information explosion and education reforming, traditional education is facing more and more tremendous challenges, education means and teaching methods of reform is imperative (Ye Lan, 2001).In todays world，w
14、ith the rapid development of science and technology and information technology emerge in an endless stream，multimedia and network technology as the representative of modern information technology has infiltrated into all aspects of education.At present many schools of most cities in China have estab
15、lished campus network, multimedia classrooms, network classrooms, teachers of some schools are also equipped with computers and even the laptop, some schools classrooms are also mounted on the projector, school education normalization process change rapidly, the modern information technology in educ
16、ation and teaching has been used more and more widely. At the same time, it is also the needs of basic education curriculum reform and deeply developing innovation education (Yuan Zhenguo, 1990).The representative of cognitive psychology J. S. Bruner (1990) believed that the best stimulus for learni
17、ng is the interest to the teaching materials. To the students, interest will directly affect their study effect. Therefore, in English teaching, the teaching aid is unavoidable. Humans understanding is from vivid direct viewing to the abstract thought, and from abstract thought to practice. If the t
18、eacher appropriately utilizes the teaching aids in the classroom, it can strengthen the teaching direct viewing, increase the knowledge density, break through the difficulties, give prominence to the key points, reduce the burden of students for remembering and understanding, and enhance the student
19、s interest.2Just as Dong Wenzhou and Sun Kai (2001) point out, in the subject teaching process, teachers need to effectively use information technology as the technological means of modern education. In addition, the new English curriculum standards also highlight that in English teaching teachers s
20、hould actively make use of modern information technology, rationally use and actively develop curriculum resources, make full use of information technology and the internet, and give efforts to expand the channel of students learning and using English. By use of multimedia and network technology Eng
21、lish teachers should create conditions for the students individual learning, autonomous learning and collaborative learning. With special emphasis on that the English teachers should make full use of modern information technology to develop English teaching resources, broaden the students learning c
22、hannels, improve students way of learning and improve the effect of teaching.2Literature Review2.1 Definition of Multimedia TeachingThe teaching by multimedia is a kind of teaching method. According to the characteristics of different teaching targets and goals, we choose and use the modern teaching
23、 media correctly combining with the traditional teaching ways. The teaching by multimedia can help us get reasonable structures of teaching process and teaching results.The teaching by multimedia can make us experience the great shock and challenge to the traditional teaching methods because of its
24、relaxing and effective teaching results. The multimedia can overcome the disadvantages in the traditional classroom so that students can achieve the best result of learning. In addition, the multimedia teaching is the main model in many middle schools and elementary schools (He Gaoda, 2002).2.2 Adva
25、ntages of Multimedia Teaching1. Arouse students interest in learningQin Hongbing (2003) believed that the interest for study in the English teaching 3becomes the basic element for English teaching. We, the future teachers must design teaching process with considering how to arouse the students inter
26、est for the English study. There are three ways to arouse students interest and they are as follows.Firstly, in the middle school, we usually use pictures or drawings to present the new words according to the actual situation in the English class. It is better for the students to study if we change
27、pictures to the dynamic teaching. The dynamic thing can arouse students interest to the English study more easily than the traditional way. The multimedia English teaching can establish a vivid teaching situation for English teaching. It can stimulate the students study interest and play the positiv
28、e role.Secondly, there are some difficult points in English study. It is hard for the students to understand some difficult English tenses. To overcome the difficulties, we can use the multimedia to make it easy to understand and raise students interest so that it can show the superiority in the Eng
29、lish class. The multimedia can imitate and change abstract to images. It can be combined with the words, pictures, images, voice and animation and bring the students to the active, interesting, and colorful teaching atmosphere so that the students can get the stimulation, improve the abilities of un
30、derstanding, enrich the scope of knowledge and reduce the difficulty of English learning. Therefore, we can say that multimedia English teaching can make it easier to learn English.Thirdly, the assignment of the English curriculum in the English education stage is that stimulating and training the s
31、tudents interest to study, making the students confident, cultivating the good habit and effective study strategy for English study. Therefore, the training of interest in the English class is very important. The characteristic of the multimedia teaching is the combination of pictures, words, voices
32、 and images. It can show the various and perceptual materials, vivid pictures, standard reading, the delightful background music and the wonderful teaching games, which bring the students to a relaxed learning environment so that they can study initiatively. The students are willing to learn English
33、 with a happy mode. In conclusion, the application of the multimedia helps to excite students interest 4in learning. Making full use of multimedia technology can show some new words and dialogues, which can make the students place themselves in the environment of the language, and experience actual
34、application of English. Thus, it can arouse students interest in learning English. They are learning something while playing. The teacher can accomplish the task of teaching easily and it is easy for students to accept and remember it firmly, too.2. Make the abstract thing picturesque In the opinion
35、 of Yan Huixue (2006), the use of multimedia technology can design abstract words, sentence patterns, and passages into a scene by putting them together through the cartoon and video. It can make the learning process active with excellent pictures and texts. Thus it makes students know English perce
36、ptually. Meanwhile, teachers can take advantage of the acoustics of the multimedia to strengthen the notice of students without purpose.For example, while teaching the differences between general present tense and present progressive tense, it is very uninteresting that a teacher teaches grammars wi
37、th the language and writing on the blackboard directly, and it is also difficult to memorize. Then we can make some multimedia courseware at this moment, by using a large number of colorful pictures, and vivid pictures to state the differences between them. And teachers can also let students make se
38、ntences or do exercises according to the pictures, in order to grasp these two tenses.3. Improve the efficiency of classroom teachingIn the classroom teachers let students listen to the recording with problems, and then answer the questions, so that not only the hearing is improved, but also speakin
39、g is practiced. Modern information technology in teaching provides students with the perceptual materials of various forms and different functionsMultimedia has vivid images and wonderful music, which enhance the charm of the teaching so that students eyes, ears, mouth and brain are used together, t
40、hus students focus attention and maintain strong interest in learning. Zheng Guoying (1995) pointed out that using multimedia through process control can save a lot of time for writing on the 5blackboard and easily break difficult points of teaching. Using multimedia aided teaching can repeat for st
41、udents practicing the new content with a large-capacity and ultra high-speed, so that the density and breadth of teaching increases. In addition, it can increase the amount of practice in classroom and effectively reduce the students study pressure.4. Solve the important and difficult points better
42、By using multimedia, the important and difficult points can be designed into a corresponding English scenes and the ocular image can be demonstrated. Thus, it can strengthen the impression of studying (Chen Jiuxian, 2005). For example, in order to emphasize the change of verb forms of the third pers
43、on in the present tense, teachers can make different persons in the courseware with odd number and complex number and question students in different ways. At the same time, teachers can make the keywords into red color, very striking, which makes a deep impression on students. 5. Promote change in t
44、he learning wayIn the English teaching using modern information technology, English learning process and learning resources can be designed, developed, used, managed and evaluated to change the teachers educational philosophy and teaching mode, thus contributing to change the mode of students learni
45、ng. In the help of modern information technology, according to the direction of English teachers, students will become active learners instead of passive recipients of knowledge (Luo Yaoguang 2002: 59). With this role changing, students interest increases and learning efficiency naturally increases.
46、6. Improve students oral Level and listening levelYang Chunhui (2000) considered that requirement of English teaching in junior high school is all-round development of listening, speaking, reading and writing, in which listening and speaking are the foundation. But in the past, students ability of l
47、istening and speaking is often the weakest link. Because conditions in the country is limited, students learning English rarely have the opportunity to hear the standard, authentic English, of course, it is difficult to learn authentic，standard English. After 6using modern information technology, st
48、udents watching the scene for curriculum designed，who can not only accept the standard pronunciation training，but also repeat listening，watching，learning ，thus it greatly improve their listening level and speaking level(Xu Xuejun, 2002:22).2.3 The Theoretical Bases2.3.1 Constructivism TheoryThe cons
49、tructivism theory is that students study under the guidance of teachers. In guidance of constructivism learning theory, we should pay attention to individuals and establishment of learning environment. Under the constructivism theory, multimedia learning environment sets up a platform for students to study, and teacher-pupils-curriculum-media will interactively achieve the target in the environment (David Nunan, 2001). The learning of instruction may be summed up in: “student is helped in the teaching process by the
