Analysis of Multimodal Teaching of College English under the Background of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

As the Internet drives the spread of digitalization and the further improvement of computing power, the traditional college English teaching mode can no longer adapt to the needs of teaching in the age of artificial intelligence. Single or lesser modality is gradually replaced by multimodality, an emerging teaching mode. The study of multimodal discourse is a new hot spot in language research and a key issue of concern for English classroom teaching reform. Based on the analysis of the practical application dilemmas of multimodality in college English teaching culture, context, content (meaning + form), and expression, this article proposes a path to innovate multimodal discourse teaching in college English classroom in the era of artificial intelligence. It includes familiarizing with multimode integrated platform for teaching tools and developing intercultural communication abilities. Multimode situational lectures with the help of modern information technology are developed. At the content level, we should adhere to the unity and coordination of the meaning and form of multimodal teaching. Use language and nonlanguage in a way that will enhance learning at the multimode media level. Additionally, AI enriches English teaching methods, changes the intelligence of English teachers, and improves the efficiency of English teaching. AI helps to create a more relevant and interactive English learning environment, improve many aspects of English teaching, including teaching evaluation, and effectively improve the face of college English teaching.
