Application and Implications of MIT in College English Teaching and Learning

This paper investigates the current situation of MIT as program resources for college English teaching, exploring the effectiveness of the integration of MIT and language teaching and learning. The case study in this paper illustrates that MIT does benefit college English teaching but there are many problems of its application. Pedagogical implications are then provided to enhance the effective integration of MIT and language teaching and learning: (1) It is wise for the teachers and learners to reconcile what is desirable with what is acceptable and possible in MET application; (2) Teachers should optimize other existing resources to solve the problems caused by inequality and unavailability of MIT as program resources; (3) teachers should have a clear conception of the relationship of MIT and pedagogy in order to design and apply course wares appropriately; (4) students should have beliefs in the benefits of MIT as program resources, which will result in enhancing their individual language learning and efficiency.
