Abstract

This article explores the role of multimedia tools in English language teaching (ELT) as a means of enhancing students’ motivation, comprehension, and communicative competence. In the digital era, multimedia has become an integral part of language learning, providing audio-visual stimuli that engage multiple senses and support diverse learning styles. The study reviews previous research and pedagogical approaches to identify the advantages, challenges, and best practices of multimedia integration. The findings suggest that multimedia tools such as videos, interactive software, digital storytelling, and virtual platforms significantly enrich English instruction and create authentic communicative environments that improve learners’ overall proficiency.
