随着当前新课改的不断深入,我国乡镇中学也在响应对新课改的号召。为了贯彻新课改的这一先进理念,我国大部分乡镇中学的英语教师在教学中渐渐使用多媒体辅助英语教学,随之对这一先进的教学手段研究成果也不断涌现。但是不容忽视的是目前大部分对乡镇中学多媒体辅助英语教学的研究多倾向于理论研究,涉及多媒体辅助英语教学的调查研究尚不多见。因此,本文从对史德中学的多媒体辅助教学为切入点,采用了问卷调查法,通过对该校的部分英语教师
和学生进行调查研究,分析当前多媒体在乡镇英语教学中的应用现状,发现问题并提出相关可行性建议,为提高乡镇中学多媒体辅助英语教学的效果提供必要的参考素材。 关键词:多媒体技术;新课改;乡镇中学; 英语教学
