1 Introduction
With the change and development of multimedia technology the application of multimedia in teaching has been becoming more and more popular. Multimedia technology and equipment have come into the various stages of English teaching. Multimedia assisted teaching adds new power into English teaching and establishes new teaching systems. Therefore, multimedia assisted teaching has become a hot topic of scholars and researchers. Some studies the methods and development of multimedia for learning(Alessi 45).Some others pay attention to the current situation of multimedia application in primary school English teaching (Gu 250). It is found that multimedia brings lots of advantages. For example, multimedia provides rich learning resources which will stimulate students’ interest in learning English and improves teaching efficiency. In addition, it also enriches English language input and sensory stimulation to students, which can cultivate the new way of thinking to enhance students’ autonomous learning ability. Therefore multimedia has become the essential tool of assisting teaching(Chen 13).
Because of the superiority shown by multimedia. Multimedia assisted teaching has been advocated by many scholars and researchers. However, everything has two sides, multimedia is not excepted. Though there are many advantages of multimedia assisted English teaching, its limitation is also becoming more and more obvious .In order to find more problems of multimedia and make the English teaching become more effective, it is necessary to investigate the problems in multimedia assisted English teaching, so that some coping strategies can be found.
This paper is a report of the investigation made by the researcher at No.3 Primary School in Nan Dagang,Cangzhou, He Bei Province. Starting with the introduction to the questionnaires designed by the researcher for teachers and students of the school. The paper analyzes the results of investigation, categorizes the problems in multimedia assisted teaching and gives some coping strategies in order to improve the effect of multimedia assisted teaching.
2 Literature Review
Multimedia technology has played an important part of the modern foreign language teaching.As for multimedia system, it is connected with a kind of modern teaching method It includes the computer, the video recorder, the tape recorder, the projecting apparatus and the VCD software for teaching in order to meet different class requirement.In China MAI began in late 1960s,and after 1980s ,MAI got steady and rapid development. The history of MAI in China can be divided into six stages: start stage, primary stage, development stage, rapid development stage, high-speed development stage and development in depth and breadth.
MAI is based on the theory of Constructivism, which argues that humans generate knowledge and meaning from an interaction between their experiences and their ideas.That is to say learning is not the transfer of knowledge from teachers to students, but the process of constructing their own knowledge with the help of teachers and learning materials under the Certain situations(Eddy 93-98). Therefore, constructivism treat “situation” cooperation” “conversation” and “meaning construction” as four major elements of study environment (Piaget 677). Constructivism emphasizes real experience and environment, which is the necessary precondition for the construction of meaning. Therefore the learners can expand the width of eyes and learn more knowledge. Based on this theory the multimedia become the effective tool of building real environment which makes students feel as if they are personally on the scene, and motivates their enthusiasm of exploration and construction of meaning (Lin 11).S.M Alessi studies how to use computers in educational settings by combining constructivism learning theory and instructional strategies to help the reader design software for learning and instruction( S.M Alessi 12-13).Therefore the use of multimedia must be based on the guidance of the theory of constructivism. Only by this way can multimedia improve teaching quality and teaching effect, otherwise it is just a simple tool of teachers for teaching which equals to the blackboard and chock.
Multimedia is teachers’ good partner for teaching, who can help teachers to process and present information in a flexible way. “The process of language learning is the process of applying language (Applefield,James79)” By using multimedia teachers can help students make better a process of learning language.In order to use multimedia well Chinese scholar Chai Zhenhua has concluded three principles of using multimedia. The first is the purpose of it. Modern teaching must lay emphasis on the real effects on class teaching. Teachers should base on the actual situation of the students to make multimedia teaching programs. The second is suitability of it.Multimedia serves for the need of teaching, and teachers should base on the teaching purpose and according to the textbook to make sure which part need the assistance of multimedia. The third is the necessity of it. Using multimedia to prepare the courseware will take much time, if there are other ways more convenient than multimedia, then Multimedia Assisted Instruction should be given up(30-44). . Lin Li(38-44) ,Wang Xiaodan(15-29),Chen Yuqing(11-15) and Lu Haikong(37-39) have made some researches on the usage of multimedia assisted teaching of primary schools and indicate that multimedia have been wildly used at primary schools, and brings many advantages to language teaching and learning,such as creating real language environment, attracting students attention effectively, providing rich and convenient teaching sources and motivating students’ learning interests of language.
3The investigation of multimedia assisted English teaching in primary school
With the development of science and technology, multimedia has been wildly sued at primary schools. Although multimedia brings many advantages for teaching and learning, there are also some problems existing in the process of using multimedia. These problems will stop the development of MAI. Only by finding and solving the problems can the teaching quality be improved and the teaching effect be enhanced. It is obvious that the first step of improving the quality of MAI is finding problems of it, therefore an investigation is made at primary school of Nan Dagang,Cangzhou, He Bei Province.
