ENHANCING READING AND LISTENING SKILLS THROUGH MULTIMEDIA-BASED INSTRUCTION IN EFL CLASSROOMS

In contemporary English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, the integration of multimedia-based instruction has become increasingly significant in enhancing learners’ receptive language skills. This article examines the role of multimedia resources in improving reading and listening comprehension through the use of visual, auditory, and interactive elements. Drawing on cognitive and pedagogical perspectives, the study analyzes how multimedia-supported input facilitates deeper comprehension, reduces cognitive load, and increases learner motivation. The discussion highlights the effectiveness of multimedia tools in developing essential reading strategies and listening skills by providing contextual cues and authentic language exposure. The findings suggest that multimedia-based instruction not only enhances learners’ engagement and autonomy but also contributes to more meaningful and efficient language learning. Therefore, the study underscores the pedagogical value of multimedia integration in EFL classrooms for improving reading and listening proficiency.
