Abstract
<p style="text-align:justify">The purpose of the study was to examine and evaluate the impact the “flipped classroom” model-based learning environment accompanied by multimedia-based textbook entitled “Ukrainian language (for professional purposes)” provides for the language proficiency and learning styles of the university students majoring in language and literature teaching. A multimedia textbook “Ukrainian for Special Purposes” was designed for the study. A multi method approach was used to gather feedback and quantitative methods were used to analyze the data. Specifically, a 2X2 split-plot design was used to analyze the quantitative data and the two-way ANOVA for Mixed Measures was used to designate the main effects for column and row factors and their interaction effect related to the efficacy of the experiment. Textalyzer software was used to process the students’ responses to survey questions. The results reported a shift in student preferences in learning, including a greater desire to engage independently with computer-assisted work, quicker problem solving, increased motivation to study, and improved time management and lifelong learning skills. The study may better inform building the learning process for the students with limited learning opportunities or studying the distance learning model. Despite the experimental group involving only the students majoring in Economics, this methodology could be applicable to teaching Ukrainian for specific purposes to other majors, such as: Psychology, Educational Management, etc. The research is advancing the knowledge of integration multimedia tools into teaching, and specifically the use of multimedia textbooks in the “flipped classroom” settings to deliver the language course to the students majoring in literature and language teaching.</p>
Highlights
The use of multimedia tools in teaching has proven to enhance teaching effects (Almarabeh, Amer, & Amer, 2015; Gunawardhana & Palaniappan, 2016b)

Summary
The use of multimedia tools in teaching has proven to enhance teaching effects (Almarabeh, Amer, & Amer, 2015; Gunawardhana & Palaniappan, 2016b). Multimedia tools support the teacher by supplying additional educational elements to students’ cognitive process (Gunawardhana & Palaniappan, 2016a), using a multimedia textbook as a tool to teach Ukrainian Language to future teachers of Literature and Languages is worthy of discussion In this respect it is necessary to use all available methods, technologies and models, which can become an integral part of educational process. These technologies are implemented through activity that does not have only external attributes of unity, and because its nature involves cooperation, self-development of the subjects of educational process (Tsarenko, 2007). The latter is to be more effective if traditional and innovative technologies of different types are combined (including distant and electronic)
