This study aims to see the effectiveness of using interactive whiteboards (IWBs) in English on Year 3 students in early year students. The study's objective is to identify the effectiveness of IWBs on the academic achievement level, motivation level, and interest level among Year 3 students in English subject. A quasi-experimental design was used in this study. Inquiry learning theory and constructivist learning theory were applied in this study. This study lasted for eight weeks and consisted of 39 respondents' various levels of academic achievement randomly distributed into two groups. Data was collected using post-achievement tests and questionnaires for motivation and interest levels. The study's findings show that the interactive multimedia method is more effective in increasing English language academic achievement, motivation, and interest among Year 3 students. Therefore, continuous research on IWBs in English should be carried out to obtain stronger and comprehensive evidence of its effectiveness.
