Abstract

The integration of information technology and teaching is a hot research topic in college English education. The purpose of this study is to explore how to use information technology to improve the effectiveness and quality of college English teaching. Firstly, through literature review, the researchers found that information technology has a wide range of applications in the field of education. It can provide students with more resources and interaction opportunities, stimulate students' learning interest and initiative. Secondly, the researchers concluded from teaching practice that information technology helps to increase teacher-student interaction and promote cooperative learning. Most students thought that this kind of teaching improved their learning results. At the same time, the teaching observation also shows that the use of information technology and the integration of teaching methods can improve the teaching effects. Finally, the researchers summarized several key points of the integration of information technology and teaching in innovative teaching, emphasizing that the integration of information technology and teaching in innovative teaching, as a potential teaching method, can improve the effectiveness and quality of college English teaching, but it also needs teachers to overcome the relevant challenges in teaching through curriculum design.
