ENGAGE
MULTIMODAL TEXTS
Multimodal Texts are those texts that are developed through several means and have more than
one mode, such as print and image or print, image, sound and movement. They require processing of
more than one mode and the recognition of the interconnections between modes. Meaning is conveyed to
the reader through varying combinations of written / spoken language, visual / images, gestural, music,
and spatial modes.
Multimodal texts include picture books, text books, graphic novels, comics, and posters, where
meaning is conveyed to the reader through varying combinations of visual (still image) written language,
and spatial modes.
Digital multimodal texts, such as film, animation, slide shows, e-posters, digital stories, and web
pages, convey meaning through combinations of written and spoken language, visual (still and moving
image), audio, gestural and spatial modes.
Live multimodal texts, for example, dance, performance, and oral storytelling, convey meaning
through combinations of modes such as gestural, spatial, spoken language, and audio.
Examples:
Simple Complex
newspapers, brochures, comics, animations, digital stories, web pages,
graphic novels, picture books, documentaries, book trailers,
print advertisements, posters, storyboards, live action films, video games, music videos
slide presentations, e-books, e-posters,
social media

The list below presents essential considerations in composing or producing effective multimodal texts.
1. Textual Knowledge. A clear understanding of the information at hand or the specific subject
from which the multimodal composition is based is essential. This will serve as the basis of
determining how information will be conveyed and what modes may work best for the information
available.
2. Technological Knowledge. It is imperative to understand what technological tools and
processes will best work for the kind of multimodal texts to be produced.
3. Semiotic Knowledge. This refers to understanding how each mode can work to convey
meaning, where each mode or semiotic system has its own function.
4. Ability to Combine Various Modes. When composing multimodal text, it is vital to understand
what combinations will work best in conveying the meaning of a specific set of information.
5. Understanding Different Genres. Like in writing, it is also important in multimodal compositions
to take into consideration the purpose, target audience and text-type.
