Currently, multimedia-assisted foreign language teaching is a topic of high interest in the field of foreign language teaching. The combination between multimedia and foreign language teaching enables the teaching activity to integrate functions, such as words, phrases, sounds, images, figures and animations which can arouse and stimulate the students’ enthusiasm and initiative as well as improve the teaching efficiency. However, the insufficient study of current foreign language teaching on both of the theories and practices of the multimedia-assisted foreign language teaching results in an unsatisfactory outcome of the multimedia-assisted teaching utilized by many foreign language teachers in middle school. Based on the knowledge and analysis of the status quo of the multimedia-assisted foreign language teaching and its design, this paper systematically discusses its contents of listening, speaking, reading and writing as well as its design, aiming at promoting teachers to spontaneously use the multimedia in the foreign language teaching, taking the maximum advantage of the multimedia-assisted teaching.
