This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of multimedia technologies in teaching English as a foreign language. To achieve this, an experimental study was conducted, involving two groups of students. The control group followed a traditional methodology, while the experimental group was taught using multimedia technologies. The experiment lasted six weeks, allowing for an in-depth comparison of the learning outcomes between the two groups. The findings confirmed that multimedia tools contribute to English language acquisition by enhancing foreign language competence, fostering creative thinking, and reinforcing professional skills. The integration of multimedia-based approaches elevates the learning process to a qualitatively new level. Interactive multimedia technologies not only enrich educational content but also enable students to learn at their own pace and support personalised instruction. The study also focuses on linguistic and pragmatic methods that influence students' academic self-efficacy. The results suggest that a mixed-methods approach supported by multimedia has a positive impact on students' confidence in their academic performance. The research highlights the necessity of improving multimedia-based programmes to enhance motivation and sociolinguistic awareness among students and teachers.
