Application and Optimization Strategies of Information Technology in College English Listening Teaching

The deep integration of information technology and college English listening teaching is driving the transformation of the teaching paradigm from traditional models towards precision, personalization, and contextualization. This study systematically explores the theoretical connotations, integration mechanisms, and developmental pathways of information technology in listening instruction. On the theoretical level, based on Cognitive Load Theory and Multimedia Learning Theory, the study elucidates how technology optimizes input processing and cognitive representation. Regarding integration mechanisms, it analyzes the synergistic effects of multimodal resource construction, adaptive training pathways, and intelligent feedback systems. In terms of developmental pathways, it proposes personalized strategies based on learning analytics, the construction of immersive technological contexts, and the trend of collaborative evolution within the teaching system. This research aims to provide a theoretical reference and practical framework for constructing a new listening teaching system that is learner-cognition-centered and deeply embedded with technology.
