Against the backdrop of educational digital transformation, multimodal interactive teaching offers a new paradigm for the reform of area studies courses. Using the course Overview of Arab Countries as a case study, this research addresses key challenges in traditional teaching approaches, such as weak cultural awareness, low student engagement, and limited cross-cultural communication skills. It proposes an optimized multimodal teaching framework based on the integration of three core components: content, methodology, and assessment, aiming to create a more dynamic and student-centered learning environment. Through the strategic use of digital resources, interactive technologies, and diversified assessment methods, the study demonstrates that multimodal interaction effectively stimulates students’ learning interest, enhances their language proficiency, fosters critical thinking, and promotes deeper knowledge acquisition and competence transformation. The findings suggest that multimodal interactive teaching can significantly improve the overall effectiveness of area studies education, providing valuable insights for future pedagogical innovations in the digital era.
