Introduction
Join this webinar where Wendy Naylor, teacher and teacher trainer explores multimodality in the English Language classroom. The potential of multimodality in language classes cannot be underestimated. To meet the needs of English language students in the digital age, teachers must adapt their teaching and integrate a wider variety of modes to engage students and reflect technological changes in the classrooms. Multimodal teaching and learning supports not only language development, but also students’ ability to navigate and interpret the increasing variety of modes available today. Integrating multimodal techniques into our lessons is both beneficial for students’ learning and presents a stimulating challenge for teachers in planning and delivering lessons.
Event description
This webinar will first explore the meaning of multimodal lessons through online audience interaction by identifying some techniques that teachers already use in their practise. Then using examples from local English language materials available in South Asian classrooms, Wendy will share practical teaching activities and tips that embody multimodality to teach communication skills, whilst simultaneously developing student literacy in the broader sense. The webinar will focus on ways in which teachers can integrate multimodality and teach their students using free multimodal resources and by creating their own multimodal resources in both high and low-resource classrooms.
