Abstract

With the overall development of the economy and technology, increasing technological products have begun to enter people's lives, and the same is true in the field of education. Due to the widespread use of multimedia, more and more educators have begun to study multimodal theory. For multimodal theory, it is mainly to accept the corresponding language, image and sound through various senses, and carry out corresponding interactive behavior. This paper analyzes the problems existing in multimodal teaching of college English translation and the actual teaching effectiveness based on the network environment. To this end, a quality evaluation system for English translation teaching based on neural networks has been designed. This system is an effective method for scoring the actual teaching process and serves as the foundation for assessing teaching quality. Meanwhile, in the experimental section, relevant experiments have been designed to conduct surveys on students 'multimodal teaching issues, aiming to understand their subjective perceptions. In the final analysis section, data analysis is performed on the actual multimodal teaching effects. Through the obtained data, the effectiveness of university English translation teaching under the network environment is analyzed and compared. The highest accuracy rate of student translations can reach 94.3%, which fully demonstrates that compared with traditional teaching methods, multimodal teaching can effectively enhance students' learning interest and corresponding translation efficiency.
