Improve students' English cultural qualities and intercultural communicative competence. Nowadays with the development of science and technology, multimedia network technology with computer as the core has become a necessary auxiliary teaching technology in teaching. It plays an irreplaceable role especially in language teaching. This paper discusses how to use computer multimedia technology to cultivate students' cross-cultural consciousness in English teaching. The application of multimedia technology in classroom teaching is an important characteristic of modern teaching methods. Multimedia network technology with computer as the core is widely used in subject teaching in every stage. Especially it has played an important role in the field of language teaching. Constructivism teaching theory argues that students are the main body of cognition and information processing. So students' learning process is the initiative building process of knowledge. This theory emphasizes the subject status of students in teaching process, and requires carrying out teaching activities with students as the center. In multimedia network teaching, students can use computer to organize learning, build a learning environment of good adaptability, and adjust learning plan and schedule according to actual demand. In English multimedia network teaching, we should combine with network, design a new teaching mode, pay attention to improving the students' subjective initiative and cognitive ability, and create conditions to cultivate students' cross-cultural communication awareness.
