Summary/Abstract: The issue of studying language and understanding the phenomenon of multimodality is still a topic of discussion. This paper looks into the challenges faced by local bilingual students (Romanian-Ukrainian) while learning English. The goal is to explore the motivations behind using a multimodal approach in English classes at Bukovinian State Medical University (BSMU). What’s new in this study is the application of multimodal pragmatics to support beginners in learning English within a medical school setting. The findings suggest that the dynamic use of a multimodal approach was significantly more effective than traditional academic methods. Bilingual students who engaged with this approach demonstrated better outcomes compared to those who followed the conventional academic path.
