Investigating Multimedia Integration Among ESL Teachers in Teaching Reading Comprehension: A Systematic Literature Review

Open access
Multimedia integration in the context of reading comprehension teaching refers to the use of multimedia technologies and resources to aid students' comprehension of textual materials. However, the study involving multimedia integration among teachers in reading comprehension is still lacking despite its bigger role and impact in the education field. Thus, this review revealed the use of multimedia in reading instruction in enhancing comprehension teaching. However, there are challenges that teachers face in implementing multimedia in their instruction. Using two databases, Mendeley and Educational Resources Information Centre (ERIC), 10 articles were extracted from 123 articles with exclusion and inclusion criteria taken into consideration. The study finds that multimedia appears to positively impact students' engagement, comprehension, and language learning, according to teachers' perceptions and students' experiences. But there are problems that must be solved, such as a lack of infrastructure, resistance to technology, the demand for professional development, and institutional support. The study also highlights that with proper strategies and support, multimedia integration has the potential to greatly enhance language learning and instruction, creating engaging and effective learning experiences for students.
