ABSTRACT

This paper starts from the application of information technology in foreign language teaching and analyzes the characteristics of information technology (which mainly involves networks and multimedia) at this level. Information technology has its unique advantages and disadvantages in foreign language teaching; Foreign language teaching requires the support of modern technological means, while also possessing attributes such as interpersonal interaction and group psychology. Foreign language teachers in distance education are located in the intersection of the two, hence they need to have a clear understanding of such attributes, in order to make the best choices in teaching by integrating those attributes. Finally, the paper concludes that distance foreign language educators must be cautious when dealing with the advantages and disadvantages of information technology in teaching.
