Abstract

American literature course also called American Literature History and Anthology is among the important courses of English majors that meant to improve Chinese students’ cross—cultural ability and better their language proficiency. However, the outdated teaching methodology frustrated students’ interest and motivation. Traditional paper edition was just one choice and has lost its edge in competition with the fast-developed and ever-changing multimedia. Students are often bored with the traditional teaching methods. Nevertheless, they can be motivated by the more lively and colorful multimedia teaching. As to the proper procedure of the employment of multimedia and potential hazard of improper use of it, there is no definite answer. This paper based on the investigation conducted in Shandong University at Weihai attempted to analyze the problems in the course of teaching and to propose some suggestion for further improvement of American Literature teaching.
