Abstract

This study explores the application of multimodal approaches in English language learning and their effectiveness in improving English language skills. This systematic review analyzes 10 research articles published between 2021 and 2025 using the SALSA (Search, Appraisal, Synthesis, Analysis) method. A comprehensive search was conducted through electronic databases, including Google Scholar and ResearchGate, using specific keywords and predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings show that a multimodal approach positively contributes to language learning. These findings are categorized into 7 aspects of improvement, such as vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading comprehension and literacy, increasing student motivation and participation, supporting the integration of digital tools, and creating comprehensive multimodal strategies in the learning process. Overall, this systematic literature review concludes that multimodal learning approaches make a positive contribution that provides an effective, adaptive, and learner-centered strategy that enhances English language proficiency. However, most existing studies focus on short-term outcomes. Therefore, future research should examine long-term impacts, sustainability, diverse educational contexts, and the comparative effectiveness of specific multimodal strategies to provide deeper insight.

This research used quantitative approach with pre-experiment research type and One-Group Pre-test-Post-test Design. The research was conducted in an elementary school with a total sampling of 16 third-grade students, consisting of 5 male students and 11 female students. The data were collected using a multiple-choice test instrument with 20 questions, given in the pre-test and post-test. The data were analyzed using inferential statistics through Shapiro-Wilk normality test and paired sample t-test. The results showed that students' English vocabulary mastery had an average of 57.5 in the pre-test, and after the implementation of the “Slap the Board” game, students' vocabulary retention increased with an average of 75 in the post-test. Statistical analysis showed that the “Slap the Board” game had a significant effect on students' English vocabulary mastery with a sig. (2-tailed) 0.001, which is smaller than the significance level α = 0.05. Thus, H₀ is rejected and H₁ is accepted. So, the “Slap the Board” game which involves kinesthetic activities and competition can improve the ability to retain English vocabulary and create a more fun and interactive learning atmosphere.
