SUMMARY
In today’s globalized and digital society, modern communication combines various aspects within a single multimodal landscape. Foreign language teaching should consider these peculiarities to reflect real-world communication, promote purposeful language learning, accommodate a variety of learning styles, and make language acquisition more interesting and efficient. The article aims to investigate and determine successful multimodal teaching approaches and strategies that educators may use to improve foreign language teaching. For this purpose, important theoretical frameworks in language teaching that facilitate multimodal learning are studied. The potential of utilizing several multimodal activities from multimodal text analysis, educational videos, projects using collaboration or blogging, digital storytelling, multimedia (research) presentations, role-playing and drama, іnteractive museum projects/interactive career guidance quest-tour, multimodal vocabulary journals, interactive learning modules to online learning platforms and interactive textbooks is described. It is concluded that multimodal techniques are effective when they encourage learners to connect actively with the language in meaningful ways by using several senses and communication types. Multimodal strategies in foreign language instruction help create a more holistic and immersive learning environment, which is conducive to better comprehension and retention, as well as the development of creativity, critical thinking, communication, and teamwork, along with other essential 21st-century skills.
Key words: multimodal teaching approaches, meaningful language learning, language acquisition, active engagement.
