Improving English Oral Communication through Multimodal Learning Strategies for Secondary School Students

Abstract

This report presents a conceptual framework for a multimodal learning platform designed to address critical educational needs in the 21st century: cultivating English speaking proficiency and instilling ethical digital citizenship. The proposed framework integrates visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic instructional methods to create an engaging and inclusive learning environment. By leveraging the power of multimodal artificial intelligence (AI), the platform provides personalized, real-time feedback that fosters language acquisition and reinforces responsible digital conduct. The framework is specifically adapted to the unique challenges and opportunities of the Indonesian educational context, aligning with national policies like the Kurikulum Merdeka while providing strategies to navigate issues of digital access and teacher professional development. The findings indicate that such an integrated, technology-driven approach can significantly enhance learning outcomes and prepare students to become informed, responsible, and effective global citizens.
