This article explores the role of foreign language teaching and technology-assisted language teaching and learning in predicting foreign language aptitude in the new trinity era. Taking college English as an example of foreign language teaching, this article investigated the English scores of 180 non-English majors and their teachers’ teaching habits, textbook use, and technology-assisted English teaching and learning. The results of the study were analysed by SPSS with ordinal logistic analysis. It was found that textbook had a significant positive effect on students’ English scores, teaching habits were less correlated than textbook, and technology-assisted language teaching and learning mainly played a facilitating role. This study contributes to accelerating the pace of foreign language textbook reform, taking students’ interests as the breakthrough of teachers’ teaching, and enhancing the effect of technology application in foreign language teaching and learning.
