Keywords:
Multimedia, language learning, technological education, visual content, virtual reality, motivationAbstract
This article provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the impact of multimedia on language learning. It examines how modern tools such as video, audio, interactive games, mobile applications, and virtual reality can positively impact students’ thinking, listening, understanding, and using language. It also explores the role of these tools in increasing students’ motivation and enriching the learning process visually and emotionally through scientific research. The article provides not only theoretical foundations but also practical recommendations on how to use multimedia tools in real-world classroom settings. It focuses on ways for teachers to incorporate real-world content into language learning in an artificial environment, as well as how modern technologies are influencing approaches to education.
