The Mode Construction And Effect Assessment Of The IT-Assisted Teaching In College English

At present, the teaching reform of the higher education is focused on two aspects, one is pushing forward the double-language teaching, and the other is spreading the information-technology teaching, especially on the utilization of Internet. Consequently, the general attention of the tutors is drawn upon how to full use of the Internet technology.
