The Empirical Study On The Application Of Information Technology To The Improvement Of English Classroom Efficiency In Junior Middle School

Information technology and its application in the field of education are on the quick development way. Nowadays, it is common for people to use multi-media to facilitate English language teaching and learning. But, the current situation of English classroom instruction is not satisfactory, especially,the aspect of the application of information technology to the improvement of English classroom efficiency needs to be improved. This thesis based on the situation of English classroom instruction, analyzes the factors of influencing the application of information technology to the improvement of English classroom efficiency, discusses about the teaching pattern on how to improve the English classroom instruction efficiency by using information technology.The subjects of the study are chosen at random. They are students in Class One and Class Two of Grade 9 in Junior Middle school in Shenyang, altogether 52 including the experimental class 28 with 12 boys and 16 girls and the control class 24 with 10 boys and 14 girls.
