This paper describes an on going project to develop educational multimedia software for students of Elementary School. The aim of the development is to produce attractive and pedagogically effective multimedia software that can enhance Year 1 students' motivation in learning English and improve their English learning outcome. To produce such software, three different levels of multimedia concept (i.e., the technical level, semiotic level, and sensoric level) had been addressed. To gain an optimal product, a series of evaluations was conducted phase by phase. After each phase of the evaluations was done, the product was revised by addressing the results of the evaluation. In addition, a quasiexperimental study was conducted to see whether the software can promote the students' motivation in learning English and whether the software is effective to improv.e the students' learning outcome. The result of the study indicated that the motivation of the experimental group comprising 80 students increased significantly and based on the t-test their learning outcome also improved significantly compared to the conltrol group. These results show that the developed multimedia software is pedagogically quite effective to support Year 1 students of elementary school learning English.
