The way of learning and teaching has been improved and the term of learning is developed. Generally, many researchers try to identify the important factors that affect the usage of multimedia in teaching and learning. However, there are few studies in this area specifically in Kuwait. Therefore, this study comes to fill this gab and identify the factors that influence the usage of multimedia technologies in teaching English language in Kuwait. Consequently, a research model is developed. To evaluate the proposed model, questionnaire is developed and the empirical data is collected and analyzed. The results reveal that there are seven factors that have an impact in using multimedia in teaching English subject, which are: facilitation, motivation, performance, behavioral, social, pedagogical, and effort factors. Moreover, the study proves that instructors have positive perceptions of multimedia technologies, but still need more supplements and supports.
