The image and audiovisual have been applied to create an innovative strategy in the English language instructional, whereas the combination of this instrument and digital technology which is known as “multimodality” has not been explored widely. This study gauges higher education students’ perception of multimodality. There were 87 Polytechnic and 41 University students involved in this research. Digital questionnaires were employed and the data collection was elaborated descriptively. The UTAUT model (unified theory of acceptance and use of technology) was applied to measure students’ argument on the multimodality use. The result indicated that there is a positive trend in the use of multimodality in the classroom. Learners have a desire to use the combination of image, audiovisual and digital technology. This study extends our understanding of what the learners need from digital technology development and a significant chance to develop on the multimodality which fit for the higher education level.

This paper aimed to analyze Polytechnic learners’ perception of multimodality in Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) in an English instructional context. This research was a survey with a quantitative approach. Purposive sampling was employed and considered only for students who learned English language lessons at eight classes in the Business Administration Department, Politeknik Negeri Bali. Questionnaires focused on the Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), and Behavior Intention (BI) of UTAUT theory. The result of the study indicated that internet technology was prevalent to be used by the students and there was a keen exploration of the English materials in a multimodal perspective that is a combination of technology-based learning materials with various modes, involving audiovisual, pictures, realia, in different formats. The usefulness of the device and the ease of technology used contribute to the use of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) in learning the English language. The result also revealed the entrepreneur candidates tended to choose MALL with multimodal immersion as a fruitful combination to escalate their English language skills. Policies, subject matter expertise, appropriate pedagogies, and relevant use of technology support are suggested to explore the usefulness of MALL for students in Polytechnic education.

Experts have developed multimodality and spherical video-based immersive virtual reality (SV-IVR) for language learning to escalate learners’ cognition. However, neither experts nor teachers have explored and optimised the use of multimodality and SV-IVR in the Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) learning materials. This study investigates foreign learners’ perception of multimodality and SV-IVR immersion in BIPA programme. The total sample involved in this study was 20 people from Europe, Asia, and the US. The results reveal that multimodality including utilisation of text, audio, video, and images contributed to the foreign learners’ motivation and eagerness to learn the Indonesian language. Although the foreign students argued that the combination of text, audio, video, and images elevates foreign learners’ eagerness to study the Indonesian language, the SV-IVR implementation indicated no significant effect on the foreign students’ eagerness. Regarding the combination of multimodality and SV-IVR, the students indicated that the simultaneous use of multimodality and SV-IVR could increase their motivation to learn the Indonesian language.
