Download or read book MULTIMODAL DISCOURSE INFORMATION PROCESSING IN ENGLISH CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION FOR LEGAL PURPOSES written by YANMEI HUAI and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2021-02-22 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English for Law (also called Legal English Teaching) is a big challenge for EFL/ESL teachers worldwide. Multimodal teaching and learning may engage law students with legal content and the English language by using multiple communication modes and mediums. But what are the multi-modes and multi-mediums specific to the ESP (English for Specific Purposes) course? How would teachers deal with that complicated multimodal information? How would teachers intrigue students' interest, focus their attention, and guide them to follow, respond, analyze, extend, and comment? And how would teachers build students' critical thinking skills and shape international elites' dispositions? This book would discuss more in-depth the above questions. The new analysis framework of MDIP (Multimodal Discourse Information Processing) could decode classroom participants' interactive intentions from their multimodal presentation discourses, could focus LCTA (Legal Critical Thinking Abilities) as the primary training purpose of Legal English Teaching, and could provide Legal English Teaching with discursive, cognitive, and communicative information strategies. With the help of MDIP strategies, teachers are clearer at how to extract the legal documents' genres, how to create the lecture schemata, how to generate visualized tree discourses, how to build hierarchies among multimodal information, how to allocate teaching, learning, and assessing tasks in classroom instruction, etc. As a result, Legal English Teaching's course design will become much less challenging for EFL/ESL teachers.

Book excerpt: Language teaching programs have to respond to the need for distance education, with teachers working to transfer their material onto online platforms and/or learning management systems (LMS) even though their materials are not designed with distance learning in mind.

Download or read book Multimodal Literacy written by Carey Jewitt and published by New Literacies and Digital Epistemologies. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multimodal Literacy challenges dominant ideas around language, learning, and representation. Using a rich variety of examples, it shows the range of representational and communicational modes involved in learning through image, animated movement, writing, speech, gesture, or gaze. The effect of these modes on learning is explored in different sites including formal learning across the curriculum in primary, secondary, and higher education classrooms, as well as learning in the home. The notion of literacy and learning as a primary linguistic accomplishment is questioned in favor of the multimodal character of learning and literacy. By illustrating how a range of modes contributes to the shaping of knowledge and what it means to be a learner, Multimodal Literacy provides a multimodal framework and conceptual tools for a fundamental rethinking of literacy and learning.
