Summary

Introduction

In this highly informational 21st century, China is carrying out more and more frequent exchanges and cooperation with different countries in the world in science and technology and culture. College students need to have efficient reading abilities so as to read as many foreign language literatures as possible and find as much information as they can within the limited time. English reading ability is the foundation for English listening, speaking and writing skills and an important channel for English language study [3]. The CALL model just makes up for the deficiency of traditional college English reading teaching. On one hand, it facilitates dynamic exchanges in the teaching process; and on the other hand, it diversifies the teaching process with various computeraided equipment like language lab, multimedia classroom and computer corpus software, etc. This paper studies the effects of the CALL model on college English teaching and designs an application example to demonstrate the guiding significance of this model
