Abstract

Text-based material is known to deliver merely visual messages, unlike audio-visual-media which offer both visual and auditory signals for learners to decode. Meanwhile, practicing English as a foreign language requires sufficient exposures to language input, both auditory and visual. In this study, principles of multimedia learning and multimedia processing for material design are chosen as its initial frameworks. Then, samples of practice material and media implemented in the researchers’ EFL classes are discussed in the light of how multimodalities were accommodated. In this study, three classes of English for Specific Purposes used audio-visual media to offer more multimodal exposures in terms of learning contexts, target culture understanding, and language function practice. In reflection, it is concluded that audio-visual media provide promising potentials to empower teachers, engage and motivate learners, and eventually facilitate language learning.
