The Impact of Multimodal Instruction on Listening Proficiency Among Non-English Major University Students

This study examines the effectiveness of multimodal instruction in enhancing listening skills among non-English major university students in Shanxi, China. Using a mixed-methods design, the research combines quantitative analysis of CET-4 and MALQ assessments with qualitative data from classroom observations and interviews. Results demonstrate significant improvements in the experimental group’s listening comprehension, particularly in inference skills and detail recognition (Chen et al., 2023; Zhang & Liu, 2022). Thematic analysis reveals enhanced learner engagement and confidence through multimodal approaches (Wang & Zhao, 2021). Findings support the integration of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities in language instruction, with implications for curriculum design and pedagogical strategies (Li et al., 2023; Sun, 2024).
