Using a descriptive-correlational research design, data were collected from 60 English reading teachers and their corresponding pupils. Descriptive statistics summarized the teachers’ profile and multimedia utilization levels, while Pearson’s correlation measured the relationship between multimedia usage and pupils’ academic outcomes. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to determine whether there were significant differences in the extent of multimedia-assisted instruction utilization among teachers across their profile variables such as age, years of teaching experience, and highest educational attainment. Results revealed a significant but low positive correlation between the extent of multimedia-assisted instruction by teachers and pupils’ academic performance, indicating that increased use of multimedia tools modestly enhances learning outcomes. The academic performance of pupils was found to be generally satisfactory, indicating that most students met or exceeded the expected learning outcomes during the study period. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) revealed that among the teacher profile variables, the highest educational attainment significantly influenced the extent to which multimedia-assisted instruction was utilized. Teachers with higher educational qualifications tended to use multimedia tools more extensively in their teaching. These results highlight the importance of continuous professional development in enhancing multimedia instructional practices that support improved student performance. Recommendations include sustained professional development and targeted interventions to optimize multimedia use in the classroom. ER -
