Abstract
This article describes the importance of new multimedia tools that provide multi-sensory education for language learning, especially for students who need special education. These contemporary appliances stimulate the senses, enter the motiva-tion and reinforce the memory. In particular, these tools advance language skills such as comprehension, oral language and vocabulary, speaking expressions, reading capacities and writing abilities. Also, the evaluation for students with lan-guage disorders lies on cognitive and metacognitive capabilities, being created by these interactive media devices.
