Exploration of the Application of Multimodal Teaching Mode in German as a Second Foreign Language Teaching for English Majors in Universities

With the development of information technology, the reform of teaching models in universities has become an inevitable trend. The acceleration of globalization has made multilingualism an important cornerstone of international communication. The demand for elective courses in a second foreign language (such as German) among English majors in universities is increasing, and the traditional single teaching model has been difficult to meet the diverse learning needs of students. Therefore, this article will explore how multimodal teaching models can be effectively integrated into the teaching of German as a second language in English majors in universities, from the aspects of the current application of multimodal teaching in language education at home and abroad, the teaching characteristics of German as a second language, the difficulties of German learning for English majors, and the construction and implementation strategies of multimodal teaching models. The aim is to improve students' comprehensive language application ability, cross-cultural communication ability, and learning interest, and provide practical references for teaching reform.
