Paper Keywords: multimedia network environment, college English teaching reform model
The College English Curriculum Requirements (Trial) promulgated by the Ministry of Education in 2004 clearly points out that it is necessary to make full use of the opportunities brought by the development of multimedia and network technology, adopt new teaching models and improve the original single classroom teaching model with teachers as the mainstay. The new teaching mode should be supported by modern information technology, especially network technology, and make English learning develop in the direction of personalized learning, learning without time and place restrictions and active learning. Therefore, the development of college English teaching mode under the multimedia and network environment has brought revolutionary changes to the field of foreign language teaching. This teaching mode has changed the traditional single English teaching mode, exerted great influence on foreign language teaching ideas and promoted the development of foreign language teaching theory.
First, the characteristics of English teaching mode in multimedia and network environment
With the popularization of Internet and computer, multimedia and online foreign language teaching mode has added a bright spot to the current college English teaching reform. Multimedia teaching not only provides real language scenes, but also carries out human-computer interaction and teacher-student communication. Online teaching carries out real thoughts and language exchange activities more widely through the Internet and e-mail. Based on multimedia and network teaching mode, students can not only interact with computers, but also have conversations with other students and even contact people all over the world through computers. Network teaching enables students to read a lot, listen to language materials at any time and practice writing. In view of the characteristics of multimedia and network teaching, compared with the traditional college English teaching mode, the former has incomparable advantages.
Second, the advantages of English teaching mode in multimedia and network environment
The teaching mode under multimedia and network environment is a teaching relationship based on students' active participation and independent control. Teachers creatively construct an open teaching environment by using multimedia technology, allowing students to learn knowledge in various ways, and students actively participate in the teaching process with the help of multimedia technology. Have unparalleled advantages.
1. Cultivate students' creative thinking.
The traditional teaching model can be summarized as? Textbook+blackboard writing+tape recorder? Teachers have a single class situation, mainly using the teaching method. Moreover, due to the limitation of class hours, it is difficult for teachers to have time to analyze the text in depth and explain some language points in the text in general. However, it is difficult to meet the current teaching needs, and it is even more difficult to mobilize students' positive state of attending classes.
With the development of network information, the traditional teaching mode has undergone fundamental changes. The teaching mode of college English under the multimedia network environment has changed from spoon-feeding teaching to process-evolving teaching. In the past, students could only understand some language points in the article, but they could grasp the context of the article, understand the relationship between paragraphs, master the article as a whole, and draw their own conclusions according to the western thinking logic through their own analysis of the relevant situation. This has a vital role in cultivating students' creative thinking.
2. Cultivate students' cross-cultural awareness.
Multimedia can effectively help students understand and feel the society and culture of the language country they are learning through vivid pictures, languages and music. One of the biggest difficulties for English learners is that they can't personally understand the society and culture of the language they are learning, and it will be difficult for them to understand and use English because of cultural differences. However, multimedia can affect students' senses in various forms. Teachers introduce culture through multimedia, so that students can feel the social customs and culture of the country from both perceptual and rational aspects, thus improving students' cultural literacy and cultivating students' cross-cultural awareness.
3. Cultivate students' learning autonomy.
The biggest feature of college English teaching mode based on multimedia and network environment is that it truly realizes the modern teaching concept of taking students as the main body. In this new mode, students become the main body of the teaching process. Under the guidance of teachers, we can study topics, give full play to their subjective initiative and realize man-machine interactive learning.
4. In line with the principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.
This teaching mode also fully considers the individualized teaching of students. In the whole process of online teaching, students can choose English language level suitable for their own level according to their own English foundation, and choose learning topics according to their own learning foundation and interests. This is not only conducive to alleviating the pressure of polarization on students with learning difficulties in language teaching, but also conducive to the further improvement of outstanding students. Therefore, this teaching mode fully embodies the principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.
5. Improve the teaching environment and teaching content.
With the popularization and use of computers and networks, college English teaching content has become a three-dimensional teaching material composed of CD-ROM, online courses and other different carriers. Network technology has broken through the limitations of time and space, the boundaries of written teaching materials and the enjoyment of resources. Teachers can call relevant resources in the network at any time to provide students with rich and intuitive learning reference materials, which are suitable for classroom teaching and students' autonomous learning, improve teaching efficiency and create a modern teaching environment.
Third, the problems of college English teaching mode under the multimedia and network environment
1. Multimedia teaching deviates from the purpose of language teaching, and the amount of information is infinitely expanded.
The use of multimedia and network technology leads to the infinite expansion of information, and students can't tell the priority of teaching content in limited class hours. Many teachers go into such a misunderstanding when applying multimedia teaching: make the courseware colorful and spectacular, or just pile up some words, phrases, sentences, voice fragments and some pictures. This will not only fail to achieve the expected results, but also gild the lily, distract students' attention and waste their time and energy.
2. Teachers and students lack emotional communication in multimedia environment.
In the multimedia teaching class of college English, we often see such a phenomenon: teachers mainly focus on the keyboard, mouse and screen, become the operators and commentators of multimedia courseware, and ignore the main students of learning. In the teaching process, we rely too much on multimedia, which reduces the weight of explanation. We believe that as long as the multimedia courseware is vivid and harmonious, students can accept knowledge. Due to the improper use of multimedia by teachers, students' reactions are ignored, and classroom teaching in primary and secondary schools is reversed, which is not conducive to the transfer of knowledge. In this kind of classroom lacking communication, teachers' excellent quality can't be accepted by students imperceptibly, and teachers' personality strength can't directly infect students, which is not conducive to the cultivation of students' noble sentiments.
3. The classroom rhythm of multimedia teaching is too fast, and its advantages are difficult to realize.
In multimedia teaching practice class, teachers often feel that multimedia contains a lot of information, and the picture changes quickly, which can only give students instant sensory stimulation. Students can't take notes when listening to the explanation, and they can't listen well when taking notes, so they have no time to understand and analyze. The fast pace of multimedia teaching often makes students feel tired in a short time, and their ability to accept knowledge will be greatly reduced. The information obtained in this way will be fleeting and cannot be consolidated. In this way, the learning quality of the whole course will be in crisis.
