Abstract: Learners’adaption to web-assisted English learning environment is analyzed, mainly from five dimensions that include 33 sub-dimensions, i.e. learning motivation, web environment and resources, learning strategies, learning abilities and learning contents. The results indicate that learners’ motivation types are mainly instrumental rather than cultural, interactive or integrative, with certain recreational tendency, that learners are adaptive to web environment in terms of Internet skills and techniques but lack abilities to utilize English websites offered by English speaking countries and resources in English on websites related to their majors, that self-supervision and on-line study planning are both difficult for English learners and learners’on-line interactive ability is relatively poor, that most learners only practice reading and listening via Internet and are less adaptive to on-line oral or writing tasks. Based on the research, the advice and solutions to the above problems are given for the purpose of improving learners’adaption under multi-media and web-assisted learning environment.
