Multimedia involves using computers to present various forms of media together, such as text, graphics, video, and audio. It can be used in Computer Assisted Language Learning to arouse student interest, improve innovative and communication skills, increase classroom capacity, and enhance self-learning ability. Effective multimedia-assisted teaching follows principles like using it as a supplement to traditional methods, building ideal teacher-student relationships, and ensuring interactivity, combination of media, and avoiding overuse or direct copying of others' materials without special skills.
