The Impact Of Multimedia Technologies On Foreign Language Learning

The book "The Impact Of Multimedia Technologies On Foreign Language Learning" examines the effects of multimedia technologies on learning a foreign language as a second language. It is based on the Mayer Multimedia Theory, which serves as the theoretical framework. In an experimental study, a group of students was investigated, who received either traditional instruction or instruction with multimedia technologies. A specially selected multimedia website was used as a teaching tool, with lessons designed using three selected multimedia tools from the Mayer theory. The research combines quantitative data from surveys and qualitative data from interviews to analyze the results. The findings show that students taught with multimedia technologies performed significantly better than their peers in traditional instruction.
