This paper discusses some of the expected features of multimedia based education and the teaching approach that promote active learning. The possibility of the multimedia-based education can have potential roles in enhancing learning. The particular attention is paid to the audio and visual presentation of the material with the goal of improving comprehension and retention. Certainly multimedia based education in English was developed by many researchers. On the contrary, multimedia based education in German has not been developed. In particular, Fritz Lang`s film <M> will be analyzed in this paper. It is Lang`s first soundfilm, so that the sound and picture have an effective function in the film. Otherwise the film. which was made in the Weimar Republic, presents social anxieties in Germany of the 1930. The paper concludes that multimedia based education in German is not only language but also culture education useful and effective.
