With the continuous development of information technology all around this world, great changes have taken place in the teaching methods of English courses in colleges and universities. The implementation of online English teaching through networking and information technology has become an inevitable development trend in the future. Therefore, this paper proposes a multimedia English teaching system based on Internet virtual technology, which aims to further expand the implementation path of English teaching in colleges and universities and improve the information level of English teaching. First of all, this paper analyzes the working principle of the English teaching classroom distance teaching system, and constructs the three‐tier architecture of the English teaching classroom distance teaching system. Then, the system is designed based on Internet technology, and the output control of long‐distance multimedia teaching information is realized by using the core control module of Internet. Finally, the virtual teaching environment is created by using virtualization technology to realize the interaction between scene objects and users, and show the teaching effect smoothly. The final experimental results show that the designed system can interact in real time. It improves the fun of students' English practice and teaching effect, and the performance of the system is stable.
