Education as other fields of human endeavor is highly affected by the rapid change of technology where the various types of technology applications used in education obviously increase every day.

One of these tools is multimedia.

In this Study, an intervention was made for one week.

For studying the effectiveness of the intervention, a control group (N=31) and a experimental group (N=34) were formed where the former was taught in the traditional way while the latter being taught with the use of Multimedia.

The performance of both groups was compared by administering pre-test and post-test.

A questionnaire was also developed and administered to the participants of the experimental group (the undergraduate students) to collect their opinion and grading the Multimedia content.

The statistical "analysis" of the performance that there is "no significant difference in the" performance of both groups.

However, on comparing the performance of each group before and after the treatment, it was found that both groups have improved significantly.

Majority of the students indicated that the use of Multimedia is useful in creating interest among learners to learn English Language.
