Abstract

This study examined the impact of multimedia presentations on the development of auditory awareness and oral communication skills in kindergarten children, as perceived by teachers in the Subic District. Emphasizing the importance of phonological awareness as a foundational skill in early literacy, the research explored how multimedia tools such as interactive whiteboards, flashcards, and video content facilitated phonetic development and speaking abilities. A total of 49 kindergarten teachers participated in the study, which employed a descriptive survey method to collect data on teachers' demographics, the level of multimedia integration, and the challenges faced in implementing multimedia in the classroom. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents were young, female teachers with limited experience. Multimedia tools were reported to be "greatly integrated" into reading and visual skills but were "reasonably implemented" for auditory skills. Variations in multimedia use were observed based on factors such as seminar attendance, years of service, and educational background. Key barriers included insufficient training, limited resources, and a lack of institutional support. Despite these challenges, the study confirmed that multimedia significantly contributed to enhancing phonological awareness. To fully maximize the potential of multimedia integration, the study recommended improving technological support, providing ongoing content-specific professional development, and regularly evaluating student progress to refine teaching strategies.
