Abstract


Abstract—This paper aims to optimize the application of multimedia tech-nologies in the teaching of English listening. For this purpose, the author car-ried out a comprehensive analysis on the theoretical bases, principles and de-sign of multimedia-based English teaching, and designed a multimedia-based teaching platform for English listening in universities. Specifically, a question-naire survey was conducted to qualitatively measure the demand of listening teaching, clarify the current situation of the teaching of English listening, and improve the acceptance of multimedia-based technology. Moreover, the effect of the proposed platform was verified through a teaching experiment. The re-search findings shed new light on the understanding and application of multi-media-based teaching of English listening.
