This research studied the salient multimodal approaches for communicative competence and learners' reactions through storytelling tasks with three different modes: a silent movie clip, a movie clip with only sound effects, and a movie clip with sound effects and dialogue. In order to measure different multimodal effects and to define better delivery modes, three one-shot commuter-based tests for each mode and one survey were conducted. Three tasks were arranged on the websites specially designed for the study using Flying Popcorn 7.0, a web authoring program. After viewing each movie clip, participants were asked to immediately record a one-minute story. There were 90 Korean English learners who attended academic English classes at a university located in South Korea. The results showed that there was a significant difference in their speaking performance when using the movie clip with sound effects and dialogue. In the survey, participants responded that the movie clip with sound effects and dialogue provided a good way to assess speaking and listening.
