This article examines the role of multimedia resources in enhancing Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in the educational context of Karakalpakstan. CLIL, which integrates subject content and foreign language learning, has become an effective pedagogical strategy for multilingual regions such as Karakalpakstan, where students often learn in Karakalpak, Uzbek, Russian, and English. Multimedia resources—such as videos, animations, podcasts, and interactive digital platforms—provide an engaging and authentic environment for both content mastery and English language acquisition. The paper discusses the pedagogical value of multimedia in CLIL, practical ways of integrating it into English-medium subject instruction, and the specific challenges faced by teachers and students in Karakalpak schools. Findings indicate that multimedia tools enhance motivation, improve comprehension, and support differentiated learning, but their effective use requires teacher training, adequate infrastructure, and localization of materials.
