Abstract

Abstract. The article explores the theoretical and methodological foundations of using multimodal technologies in teaching foreign literature. It analyzes the historical preconditions for the introduction of innovative pedagogical practices in literary education. It considers contemporary approaches to combining visual, auditory, interactive, and digital modes of learning. The focus is on the methodological potential for developing the reading, critical, and intercultural competencies of students. Emphasis is placed on researching the role of multimodality as a means of expanding traditional text analysis. The article highlights the importance of activating students' subject-specific activities and optimizing pedagogical interaction in the process of studying works of foreign literature. The methodological potential of multimodal technologies in teaching foreign literature through the prism of historical-literary and didactic approaches has been analyzed empirically. Attention is focused on the transformation of traditional forms of working with artistic texts in the context of using visual, auditory, and multimedia teaching aids. The historical prerequisites for the introduction of innovative pedagogical practices in literary education are highlighted. The place of multimodality in the system of modern educational strategies is determined. The possibilities of integrating various semiotic codes in the process of studying literary eras, trends, and works of foreign literature are considered. The importance of multimodality as a means of deepening the interpretation of artistic texts is substantiated. The activation of reading activity and the formation of historical, literary, and cultural competencies in students are noted. It is proven that multimodality contributes to the activation of students' subject activity and the deepening of interpretive strategies. Multimodal technologies are considered an effective tool for modernizing the teaching of foreign literature in the context of the digitalization of humanities education.
