Learning Outcomes
1. Evaluate multimodal texts critically to enhance receptive
(listening, reading, viewing) skills
2. Convey ideas through oral, audio-visual, and/or web-
based presentations for different target audiences in
local and global setting using appropriate registers
3. Adopt awareness of audience and context in presenting
ideas
Evaluating messages in this era is made
simpler. Looking at them through several lenses
is helpful as culture is arbitrary in nature. It
conveys ideas that are distinct and rooted in
myriad sensibilities. What one experiences is
what one brings to the table to further explain
what is depicted in the picture, video or any
form of illustration.
