This work aims to explore the impact of multisensory stimulus-integrated foreign language learning models on students’ psychological states and language skill development. It conducts an empirical analysis using the Global Learning Assessment Database. The work adopts quantitative methods, including regression analysis and Structural Equation Modeling, to evaluate the effectiveness of multisensory learning models. Besides, this work combines visual, auditory, and tactile sensory inputs to analyze the effects of different learning models on learning anxiety, learning motivation, self-confidence, and the enhancement of four language skill dimensions: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The results show that the combination of visual and tactile learning models is particularly effective in alleviating learning anxiety (regression coefficient = -0.52, p < 0.01). In addition, the combination of visual and auditory models can significantly enhance learning motivation (regression coefficient = 0.48, p < 0.01). The integrated model (visual + auditory + tactile) performs the most balanced in language skills; it achieves a 32% increase in listening comprehension scores (p < 0.001), a 33% increase in speaking fluency (p < 0.001), a 31% improvement in reading comprehension scores (p < 0.001), and a 34% enhancement in the richness of writing content (p < 0.001). Gender difference analysis indicates that the integrated model has the most significant effect on improving female learning motivation (0.51, p < 0.01), while males show the strongest improvement in self-confidence (0.44, p < 0.01). The conclusion suggests that multisensory learning models not only effectively improve students' psychological states but also significantly enhance language skills. In particular, the effects under the integrated model are the most significant, providing scientific evidence and practical guidance for foreign language teaching.
