A.Readings/Discussions

Key Points :

The way we communicate is not simply through text or reading material but
also through many different modes. What are the differences between a classroom
lecture by your teacher and his or her lecture notes? What about the differences
between a group chat with your classmates and a group project meeting in the
library? These situations involve different modes. The first step to learning how to
negotiate a multimodal world is to understand what multimodality is.

➢ What is multimodality?
❖ It is the application of multiple literacies within one medium. Fpr example
, understanding a televised weather forecast involves understanding
spoken language, written language, weather specific language ,
geography and symbols. Wikipedia

➢ What are the different multimodal elements?

❖ A mode, quite simply, is a means of communicating. According to the
New London Group, there are five modes of
communication: visual, linguistic, spatial, aural, and gestural.[1]

Where..

❖ The linguistic mode refers to written or spoken words. The mode

includes word choice, the delivery of written or spoken text, the
organization of words into sentences and paragraphs, and the
development and coherence of words and ideas. Linguistic is not always
the most important mode; this depends on the other modes at play in
the text, the type of text, and other factors. Linguistic is probably the
most widely used mode because it can be both read and heard on both
paper or audio. The linguistic mode is the best way to express details
and lists.
❖ The visual mode refers to the images and characters that people see. It
is sometimes possible to find compositions that almost, if not
completely, rely on a single mode. For instance, the “No Guns”
symbol has no alphabetic text and no sound. Like many signs, it relies for its
meaning on visual information.
❖ The gestural mode refers to the way movement is interpreted. Facial
expressions, hand gestures, body language, and interaction between people
are all gestural modes.
❖ The spatial mode, as the name implies, refers to the arrangement of elements
in space. It involves the organization of items and the physical closeness
between people and objects. A good example of the spatial mode might be
the different ways in which chairs and desks are arranged in a classroom.
❖ The aural mode is focused on sound including, but not limited to, music,
sound effects, ambient noises, silence, tone of voice in spoken language,
volume of sound, emphasis, and accent.
➢ What is a multimodal text?
❖ A multimodal text conveys meaning through a combination of two or
more modes, for example, a poster conveys meaning through a
combination of written language, still image, and spatial design.

Additionally, what are the multimodal elements of a text?

A text may be defined as multimodal when it combines two or more

semiotic systems.-(Note: semiotic- the study of signs and their meaning)
❖ Linguistic: vocabulary, structure, grammar of oral/written language.

❖ Visual: colour, vectors and viewpoint in still and moving images.

❖ Audio: volume, pitch and rhythm of music and sound effects.
❖ A multimodal text uses a combination of two or more communication
modes, for example, print, image and spoken text as in film or computer
presentations.”

➢ How to compose a Multimodal text?

To a multimodal texts , you must include posters, newspapers, storyboards,
oral presentations, picture books, brochures, slide shows (PowerPoint), blogs,

 and podcasts.(Note: Podcasts- is an episodic series of spoken word digital audio files that a
user can download to a personal device for easy listening .)
