Abstract

With the rapid development of information technology, multimodal technology has gradually infiltrated various educational fields, including English major education. This paper explores the application and practice of multimodal technology in English major education. Firstly, the paper analyzes the traditional modes and limitations of English major education and introduces the developmental trends of multimodal technology in modern education. Subsequently, the paper elaborates on the driving role of multimodal technology in English major education, its advantages in enhancing teaching effectiveness, challenges faced, and proposes corresponding strategies. Finally, through specific application examples, the paper demonstrates the practical effects of multimodal technology in listening, speaking, and reading instruction. Research indicates that multimodal technology not only enhances students’ learning interest and engagement but also effectively improves teaching quality and learning outcomes. Future studies should further explore innovative applications of multimodal technology in English language teaching to better meet the demands of modern education.
