Applying New Technologies to Upgrade Non-English Speakers’ English Speaking Skills

<p>As technologies are getting more and more advanced, modernized information technologies start to step into the field of education. The application of multimedia- assisted instruction is getting more and more popular. This can stimulate students’ interests as well as promote students’ development and improve teaching efficiency. Teachers’ work should be student centered, and teachers’ function is to provide help and guidance in students’ studies. With the introduction of new technologies, students start to be fond of having classes. They start to have interests in studies. This can create a positive learning environment to students, which meets the social requirements of this era. This project is to provide some ideas and methods of applying new technologies in English instruction to expose students in a more authentic learning environment and improve their speaking skills.</p>
