It is recommended that multimedia annotations be used as a supplementary tool in order to increase and improve ESL/EFL learners´ lexical knowledge and in turn their reading comprehension ability. This book promotes teaching vocabulary through using a variety of modalities and can be very useful to EFL/ESL teachers in making them familiar with multimedia annotations as a vocabulary teaching strategy.
