Incorporating multimedia program–based tasks into vocabulary instruction represents a contemporary and
effective pedagogical approach that capitalizes on the interactive nature of digital resources. This article aims to describe
both the theoretical and practical aspects of the mobile app “Word Case”, an innovative multimedia program designed to
enhance the vocabulary competence of B1-level learners of English. “Word Case” offers a diverse range of multimedia
resources, such as interactive games and audio recordings, catering to various learning styles and preferences. This
diversity ensures that students are exposed to vocabulary in different contexts and formats, enhancing comprehension
and retention. The program provides opportunities for autonomous learning, empowering students to explore and practice
vocabulary at their own pace and according to their individual interests. Moreover, “Word Case” facilitates continuous
assessment and feedback, enabling teachers to monitor student progress and tailor instruction accordingly. The study
analyzes various viewpoints on the concept of the “multimedia program” as discussed by scholars in philosophy, psychology,
and pedagogy, and presents the results of a questionnaire
