In the 1990s, multimodal teaching theory has become a hot topic in linguistic research, and the development of information technology has effectively promoted the application of multimodal interactive teaching. Taking textbook content as an example and combining the learning situation of students in private colleges, this article actively constructs a multimodal interactive oral classroom under the background of modern information technology in oral English teaching at private colleges, using various modalities to effectively improve student participation in class, stimulate interest in learning, and improve the efficiency of oral teaching. The author introduces the design and practice of multimodal teaching based on the Unit 2—Speaking-Talking about family in the second edition of College Experience English Listening and Speaking Tutorial, actively constructing a multimodal interactive oral classroom under the network environment, which can effectively improve student participation in class, stimulate interest in learning, and improve the efficiency of oral teaching.
