According to the characteristics of university English teaching in China, it analyzes the advantages of network multimedia teaching mode. When it comes to thinking constraint, bound concepts and material and technical limits, teachers and students will inevitably encounter many problems in the network multimedia used in the English teaching. For example, teachers don't get used to the new teaching philosophy and methods. It's hard for students to adapt themselves to the changes and accept them. Some teachers don't have sufficient capacity to use network multimedia as needed. Besides, unchanged text resources can not meet the different levels of students who study on their own. And regular and final assessment can not be effectively integrated. Furthermore, teaching management in schedule, academic record, credit and attendance still remains unchanged or has no corresponding reforming measures. Then, the article analyzes in details the reasons for the problems and considers insufficiency of new thoughts as the root source. In addition, students are greatly influenced by passive study way and faced with severe employment pressure.
