The Internet of Things is a technology that connects objects together and realizes information exchange through the network, while multimedia technology refers to the integration and processing of different forms of information including text, images, sound, video and so on. Firstly, the development status of Internet of Things and multimedia technology at home and abroad, as well as the development trend and demand of online English teaching, are analyzed. Secondly, through a questionnaire survey, data on the teaching methods, content, student feedback, and teachers' teaching methods and effects in English online teaching were collected. Through in-depth data analysis and empirical research, this paper discusses how to integrate the Internet of Things and multimedia technology to build a more efficient online English teaching model. On this basis, the problems existing in the Internet of Things and multimedia technology in English online teaching are summarized, such as uneven application of technology, lack of targeted teaching design, and insufficient interactivity. In response to these problems, a series of optimization measures are proposed, including balancing the application of technology, personalized teaching design, improving interactivity, cultivating independent learning ability and solving technical problems. Finally, the future development of English online teaching in the application of Internet of Things and multimedia technology is prospected, focusing on technological innovation and application, personalized and intelligent teaching, teaching mode and method innovation, teacher role change and evaluation system construction.
