In just a few decades, people’s life and production methods have undergone tremendous changes. Computer information technology has been widely used in military, medical, commercial, education, and industrial fields. Multimedia-assisted teaching has incomparable advantages in these situations. The use of network, computer, and multimedia has made the English classroom teaching methods changed essentially. Due to the huge storage capacity of the computer, it can use graphics, sound, and animation to express, organize, and store the corresponding text knowledge materials, so that the sound, image, and text can truly coexist, achieving an effective increase in the amount of information dissemination and enhancing stimulus intensity of information so as to make the students’ enthusiasm for learning knowledge improved. It is precisely because of the powerful information dissemination ability, information processing ability, and convenient and fast interactive form of multimedia itself that it can be used in teaching to enrich the way of classroom teaching activities and make classroom teaching methods no longer single, which can make students better complete the transition from concrete image thinking to abstract logical thinking. The smooth development of college English follow-up courses will continuously improve the English quality of our talents. Learners of different majors have different needs for follow-up college English teaching. Only when students of different majors adopt different teaching courses can they fully reflect the individuality and suitability of the courses. In order to understand the specific needs and views of students of different majors on the courses, students of different majors are made to adopt different teaching courses to get personalized and appropriate learning experience. We distributed questionnaires to senior students at a certain university and adopted Dudley-Evans and St John’s needs analysis method for the survey results. It is found that liberal arts students are looking forward to the language application and language skills modules, and their satisfaction with these two modules is as high as 86.23%. The science students and engineering students are more satisfied with the two modules of professional English and language application. Among them, the satisfaction of science students on these two modules is 78.63%, and the satisfaction of engineering students is as high as 92.38%. Students of different majors have a positive attitude towards English follow-up courses, but there is a big difference between the courses offered by universities and the teaching mode. For example, 85.62% of liberal arts students are satisfied with the recognition of the course mode, and only 14.38% are dissatisfied; 66.3% of science students are satisfied with the curriculum model, 33.7% are dissatisfied; 66.45% of engineering students are satisfied with the curriculum, and 33.55% are dissatisfied.
