Research Methodology: Research and Development using the ADDIE model. Needs analysis involved questionnaires to teachers (n=30) and students (n=107). The MLMS was designed and developed with multimedia and PhET-based virtual labs, then validated by material and media experts, followed by small-group (n=17) and field trials with teachers and students. Data were analyzed using 4-point Likert means; learning-outcome instruments were prepared with validity/reliability procedures, and effectiveness was examined with a pretest–posttest (N-Gain) design. Results: Needs analysis showed strong demand for accessible, multimedia physics resources (teachers 100% supportive; students 98% agree on development). Material validation achieved a very good category (~90%+), media validation very good (?83.75%). Small-group practicality averaged 86.32% (very good); teacher field tests averaged 84.82% (very good); student responses averaged 79.98% (very good). Implementation indicates improved learning outcomes in static and dynamic electricity. Conclusion: The web-based MLMS is valid and practical for classroom use, enhances engagement through interactive multimedia and simulations, and supports better monitoring of student progress. Limitations: Trials were limited to selected schools and physics topics; no randomized control groups; effectiveness depends on stable internet access. Contribution: Provides a validated MLMS prototype that operationalizes ADDIE for physics education, integrates interactive multimedia and virtual labs with progress tracking, and offers instruments and practical guidance for school-level deployment.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to conduct a comprehensive linguistic analysis of Spanish-language advertising videos, focusing on phonetic, morphological, syntactic, and semantic features. It seeks to identify how linguistic strategies, stylistic devices, and cultural elements shape the effectiveness of advertising discourse. Research Methodology: The research applied advertising discourse analysis based on Cook’s framework, examining a corpus of 450 commercials broadcast in Spain, Argentina, Mexico, and other Spanish-speaking countries between 2020–2024. The materials were categorized by medium (television, social media, online platforms) and product type (food, automotive, cosmetics, banking, telecommunications, etc.). Results: The findings reveal that Spanish advertising discourse is characterized by rhythmic sound patterns, frequent use of imperative verbs, evaluative and emotional lexicon, concise sentence structures, and multimodal integration. Phonetic devices such as assonance and alliteration enhance memorability, while clitics “te” and “se” strategically influence persuasion. Cultural values—particularly family orientation and national identity—emerge as central themes, distinguishing Spanish advertising from other linguistic contexts. Conclusions: Spanish advertising discourse combines emotional appeal, cultural identity, and pragmatic linguistic tools to maximize consumer impact. The balance of multimodal features and linguistic creativity ensures high effectiveness and brand recall. Limitations: The study is limited to Spanish-speaking countries and does not compare results directly with advertisements from other languages. Contribution: This research contributes to linguistics, marketing, and translation studies by providing empirical evidence of how cultural and linguistic features interact in advertising. It also offers practical insights for international marketing strategies and Spanish language pedagogy.
