Course Content (Syllabus)
Till the end of the 20th century, literacy was exclusively linked to language at the expense of other representational modes of meaning-making. However, radical changes in the domain of technology and communication redefined the communicational landscape, broadened the limits of literacy and gave rise to new kinds of texts, in which the meaning-making process was not solely based on language but on a multimodal way of meaning-making. Multimodality refers to the active and dynamic interrelationship among the different semiotic modes of meaning, such as the linguistic, the visual, the gestural, the spatial or the audio mode, which individuals can draw on during text interaction to derive meaning. During the last few years, there has been an ongoing interest in applying multimodality in educational practice. In this context, the course aims at familiarizing students with multimodality, the interplay of modes, and the ways children make meaning. Students will be initiated to the multimodal metalanguage, and will become able to critically analyse multimodal texts. Furthermore, examples of multimodal interaction in educational settings will be discussed.
