Abstract
With the deepening of educational reform and the continuous development of the times, the traditional English teaching model has been difficult to meet the current society's demand for requirements of English talents. Therefore, from the perspective of multi-mode, colleges and universities should recognize the shortcomings of traditional English teaching mode, and actively innovate and reform English teaching through various effective ways, so as to cultivate talents that meet the needs of social development. The author investigates and analyzes the multimodal theory and proposes an effective way to teach English in higher education under the multimodal vision. It is hoped that it will help to improve the quality of English language teaching in higher education institutions.
