English is de facto global and primary lingua franca. English is proven to be a prolific communication tool and a language of choice used by speakers of diverse native languages across the globe to communicate. In Malaysia, English is taught and learned as a second language due to its importance and status in Malaysian society. However, the worrying state of English language literacy in rural settings, particularly in Malaysia, needs to be addressed to bridge the existing gap on language literacy between urban and rural dwellers, especially among young ESL learners. Reading impediment among young learners has been known to be due to a lack of knowledge in phonological awareness – syllable awareness, onset-rime awareness and phonemic awareness. This study employs a quasi-experimental study to investigate this phenomenon. It evaluates the effects of multisensory learning approach (P.A. Multiscape Application and low-technology modalities) on phonological awareness in a primary school in Maludam, Sarawak with 30 treatment and 30 comparison samples. Results revealed that students in the treatment group made significant gains in syllable awareness (d = 2.74), onset-rime awareness (d= 2.20), and phonemic awareness (d= 2.56). Results suggested that the use of the multisensory learning approach was promising and effective in enhancing phonological awareness among young ESL children.
