9、e of modern educational technology. It is an inevitable outcome of the combination of multimedia technique and educational theories since it entered the field of education. The modern educational technology, whose representative is multimedia computer, is gradually walking into the classroom and bec
10、oming an important issue of teaching reform. Computer-assisted language learning is widely used in classroom teaching of colleges and universities since 1999, when most high institutes in China introduced the new mode into classroom. It helps to create a pleasant communication environment, stir up s
11、tudents motivation and enthusiasm to learn English, construct their cognitive schemata and develop their cross-culture awareness and ability. Besides, it plays a positive role in the respect of developing English teaching resources, opening study outlets, enlarging the classroom teaching capacity, i
12、mproving study methods, developing students thinking abilities and raising teaching efficiency. With the advance of Quality-Oriented education, more and more educators have realized that students have become active participants in learning and are encouraged to be explorers and creators of language
13、rather than passive recipients of it. In this case, teachers feel it necessary and natural to establish highly interactive learning environments for students. Multimedia with a lot of advantages can satisfy these requests.1.1 Current Situation of College English Reading TeachingCurrently, there are
14、more than 1000 colleges and universities in China and each has established English as a public course for all students to participate in during their freshman and sophomore period. More than 50,000 college English teachers are engaged in this program, each of them taking charge of English study for
15、nearly 200 students. In terms of English teaching, the teaching of reading has been extensively paid attention to during the past 20 years. The new syllabus of the college English course released by the Ministry of Education in 2004 has described the requirements for college students reading ability
16、 like this (Xiong 51):Table1.1 Requirements on college students reading ability要求层次阅读速度(词/分钟)阅读要求一般要求70100能基本读懂一般性题材的英文文章快速阅读篇幅较长、难度略低的材料较高要求70120能基本读懂英语国家大众性报刊杂志的一般性题材快读阅读篇幅较长的材料更高要求未规定能读懂有一定难度的文章,理解其意义,能借助词典阅读英语原版教材和英语国家报刊杂志上的文章,能比较顺利地阅读所学专业的综述性文化。The new syllabus requires a higher objective on st
17、udents reading ability, and reading has occupied an overwhelming part of time that a student devotes to English learning. We can see this from the following graph:Graph 1.1 Current English curriculum layout (Liu &Dai 19)1.2 Problems in College English Reading1.2.1 The Definition of ReadingDifferent
18、from some very basic factors in linguistics or pedagogy which usually have clear concepts or definition, reading hasnt yet got a very authoritative definition. According to Extensive Reading in the Second Language Classroom (Day and Bamford 12), reading is the construction of meaning from a printed
19、or written message. In other words, reading comprehension involves extracting the relevant information from the text as efficiently as possible, connecting the information from the written message with ones own knowledge to arrive at an understanding. There are two broad levels in the act of reading
20、: 1) a recognition task of perceiving visual signals from the printed page through the eyes; 2) a cognitive task of interpreting the visual information, relating the received information with the readers own general knowledge, and reconstructing the meaning that the writer had meant to convey (Wang
21、181).1.2.2 The Existing Problems in College English ReadingIn non-English major class, there are usually too many students, thus each student may find it difficult to express himself fully and in long run, will become lazy and reluctant to participate in classroom activities. Besides, class periods
22、for non-English major students are far from enough. Most students have no English classes when in junior and senior, which makes them even harder to improve English. Moreover, some students find it rather difficult to focus on and understand an English passage due to bad reading habits, such as read
