This study explores the integration of streaming media into university English teaching, focusing on enhancing real-time interaction, personalization, and student engagement. Despite significant advancements, specific gaps remain in optimizing these aspects within remote settings. Through a mixed-methods approach, combining structured questionnaires with semi-structured interviews, this research identifies key themes and patterns that highlight strengths and areas for improvement. The findings reveal that while streaming media significantly improves teaching quality and student participation, challenges such as network instability and bandwidth limitations persist. The study proposes a comprehensive assessment framework integrating quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate the effectiveness of streaming media in university English instruction.
