This article explores the linguodidactic effectiveness of utilizing multimodal resources in the process of foreign language teaching. Multimodal resources—including text, audio, video, visual aids, and interactive digital tools—enhance learner engagement, support diverse learning styles, and promote deeper language comprehension. The study analyzes how multimodal approaches can facilitate vocabulary acquisition, listening comprehension, and intercultural competence development. Moreover, the article discusses practical challenges faced by educators in implementing these resources, such as limited access to technology, lack of methodological training, and the need for pedagogically balanced integration. The research findings suggest that strategic use of multimodal tools can significantly improve learning outcomes when applied within a well-structured didactic framework.References
