This study investigates the use of online interactive multimedia learning to enhance basic English skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) among primary school students in China. Moving beyond traditional classroom methods and textbook content, the study aims to develop a comprehensive approach to improving students' foundational English abilities. The study has two main objectives include 1) to compare the pre-test and post-test results, analyzing whether there is a significant difference in English proficiency when using online interactive multimedia learning 2) to assess students' satisfaction with learning English through this method. The research was conducted with 15 primary school students in China, aged 8 to 10 years, in grades 3 and 4. These students were selected using a simple random sampling technique, ensuring no significant difference in their initial English proficiency. The findings reveal: 1) the average post-test scores were significantly higher than the pre-test scores, indicating a positive impact on students' English proficiency (p < .05), 2) online interactive multimedia learning was found to enhance teaching effectiveness, boost students' interest and enthusiasm, and foster greater interaction and communication among students and between students and teachers. This research underscores the potential of online interactive multimedia as a valuable tool in modernizing English language education, making it more engaging and effective for young learners.
