On the development and prospect of multimedia assisted FL learning in China

Abstract

The development of Multimedia Assisted FL Learning has brought about many changes to Chinese FL classrooms since the 1980s. Both the pedagogical approach and the organization of the FL classes have undergone extensive modifications and changes. Based on the facts observed and data collected, this paper reviews the development of Multi-media Assisted FL Learning in China from an analytical viewpoint, in the hope that a more substantial and adequate discussion on teacher-learner relations, technology implementation and so on under the multimedia circumstances would shed light on future inquiry. Finally the paper concludes with suggestive strategies for coping with constantly changing telematic technologies. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH.
