Multimedia tools now occupy a central place in learning environments, promoting interactivity, autonomy, and learner motivation. This article, structured according to the IMRAD model, proposes a typology of the main multimedia tools used in language teaching. It analyzes their pedagogical functions, contributions, and limitations, while highlighting their role in the development of linguistic and communicative skills.
