Hypermedia and multimedia materials can help facilitate second language learning by providing interactive content through various media like text, images, audio, and video. Hypermedia links related information non-linearly and allows hooks beyond just words. Multimedia simultaneously uses multiple media to engage students and encourage learning in an environment similar to natural human communication.
