TEACHERS’ STRATEGIES FOR USING MULTIMEDIA TO IMPROVE LEARNERS’ LISTENING PROFICIENCY
Abstract
Listening comprehension is one of the most essential yet challenging skills in English language learning. This paper explores how teachers use multimedia tools such as videos, podcasts, songs, and digital platforms to improve students’ listening proficiency. The study emphasizes that multimedia, when used strategically, not only enhances comprehension but also increases learners’ motivation and engagement. Real classroom examples demonstrate that teachers’ creative integration of multimedia significantly improves students’ listening accuracy, vocabulary recognition, and cultural understanding.
