It demonstrates how cutting-edge multimedia technology, be a crucial tool for language learning and teaching. Learners can engage in a variety of language exercises. They are a valuable tool for grammar exercises, reading comprehension tests, academic and non-academic writing, debate, discussion, vocabulary development, articles on fashion and sports, job search advice, information on studying abroad, language translation, and other topics. As a result, students work on their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills and investigate subjects that interest them. Learning thus becomes more engaging. The current study's primary goal is to investigate attitudes about and practices around multimedia materials (MMM) and the situation of MMM in Andhra Pradesh's Technical Institutions.

Teachers and students who do not use MMM have limited access to language teaching and learning.
