9、media in college English teaching. By doing so, English teachers can create a vivid and efficient learning environment for students. As a result, students who study English in such an interesting and efficient atmosphere will enjoy learning English to a large extent.2. The Advantages of Multimedia i
10、n College English TeachingGenerally speaking, the advantages of multimedia in college English teaching mainly include six points. That is, when the multimedia is applied in English teaching, it can be beneficial to students listening, speaking, comprehending, and memorizing. It can also enhance stud
11、ents interests of learning English and improve teaching efficiency.2.1 Being Beneficial to Students ListeningIt is evident that when one begins to learn a new language, the first thing one will contact is listening, such as the sound of each element which consists of one word, the sound of a single
12、word, even the sound of one sentence or one paragraph, etc. And it is very important in language learning because listening is the basis of communication with other people in one language. So in English teaching, teachers and students both take it into account.Now we can take a look at listening in
13、college English teaching. We know that English audiovisual course is one of the courses in college English teaching. And the focus of it is to train the students listening. In this case, multimedia acts a very important role in training learners listening. For example, teachers can select a great ma
14、ny of various original listening materials which have the traits of sociality, practicability, and being interesting. Even teachers can classify these materials according to sound speed, the length of contents, phonetics articulation and so on. Then teachers can build a listening material storage in
15、 computer which has diverse listening materials fitting for students of different level to learn. And in audiovisual course, teachers can choose adaptive listening materials for them to learn from the language storage according to students average level. By doing so, students will learn English more
16、 easily. Even Students who want to practice listening to some of the teachers audio materials in their spare time can download them and continue studying. In addition, the newest version news of VOA, BBC, NPR, elegant European and American classical or rock music, extract of films, and soundtracks o
17、f celebrity speeches are helpful to students practice of listening, and they can make students reduce the influence of learners mother language to a large extent. Whats more, in sound labs, every student has his own audiovisual device. As a result, each one of them can listen more clearly than just
18、listening to the recorder. And it is more convenient for teachers and students to communicate because a student can just press the “call” button, the teacher would know which student has questions, then the teacher can help the student, at the same time, other students would also know how to solve s
19、imilar questions next time. In reverse, the teacher can easily find what problems the students have in their process of listening and it is more practicable for the teacher to direct a single student listening according to his or her problems.Overall, the multimedia arent refined by time and space,
20、therefore it can offer the vivid original listening materials, making students feel they are in authentic English speaking countries. And the multimedia can help students to tour different countries in the world, so students can hear foreign people speak English who are from different English speaki
21、ng countries, even communicate with them (Yang Lianrui & Xiao Jianfang, 2003). 2.2 Being Beneficial to Students Speaking In college English course, there are two courses which focus on training students speaking ability. They are English phonetics and English spoken language. And nowadays college En
22、glish teachers often give English phonetics lessons in language laboratory. At this time, teachers can make use of multimedia to achieve their teaching goals much better. For example, after introducing the rules of pronouncing some phonetic symbols to students, teachers can play the pronunciation of
23、 corresponding phonetic symbols and let students read after the standard pronunciation. And in this process, teachers can control how many times the standard pronunciation should read, so the students can follow it. After it, students can record their own pronunciation with small microphone. By doin
