Abstract
In the present instructional set-up, technology and its application have emerged as the trendsetter for the benefit it provides in the language teaching field. The present paper discusses the need for the multimedia components in enhancing the communication skills of the learners where the traditional language teaching methods fail in equipping the learners for the communication challenges of the ICT era. Interactive program can create learning situations of great fidelity and authenticity, both through presentation of regalia and through audio and video input. Multimedia learning also facilitates interactivity, flexibility and learner autonomy.
