This multilingual volume delves into multimodal literacy within educational contexts,
exploring its significance across diverse cultural settings. From Singapore's integration
of multimodal meaning-making into the English language syllabus to Slovenia's
reevaluation of pictorial semiotic sources in primary school textbooks, each chapter
offers nuanced perspectives on implementation and impact. Contributors illuminate
methods to enhance students' understanding of multimodality and genre, advocate
for audio description in language education, and explore multimodal texts' role in historical
education. Through theoretical discourse and practical illustrations, the book
elucidates how multimodal texts foster student agency and enrich learning experiences.
Offering insights into methodologies and pedagogical approaches, it equips educators
to integrate multimodal practices effectively. By highlighting the transformative potential
of multimodal literacy, this work contributes to ongoing scholarly conversations in
education, prompting a reevaluation of traditional literacy in the digital era.
