This paper explores the use of multimedia techniques to enhance English language and writing skills in young learners aged 5–6. Multimedia tools such as videos, animations, interactive games, and digital storytelling are employed to create engaging and interactive learning environments. The study demonstrates how these approaches positively impact language acquisition, vocabulary development, and writing proficiency. Findings highlight that multimedia promotes active learning, boosts motivation, and fosters creativity. The paper concludes with recommendations for integrating multimedia strategies into early childhood education.
