Using a quasi-experimental design, 81 first-year high school students were divided into three groups, each exposed to different stimuli: hypervideo, video, and audio. Pre- and post-tests measured the effectiveness of these materials. Results showed no statistically significant improvement in listening comprehension for any group, though the audio group demonstrated the closest approach to significance. These findings suggest that while audio-visual materials may not significantly enhance short-term listening skills, audio-only resources might be more effective for test preparation. The study highlights the need for further research on long-term effects and multimodal integration in EFL educationenAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Estoniaaudio-visual materialslistening performanceEFL learnersmultimodal learningaudiovisuaalne õpe|võõrkeeleõpetusinglise keelkuulaminemagistritöödThesis
