Multimodal Texts in Chilean English Teaching Education: Experiences From Educators and Pre-Service Teachers

Abstract: Drawing on 10 pedagogical standards issued by the Chilean Ministry of Education, three dealing with multimodality, we, in this research, examined English language pre-service teachers' and educators' approaches to the use of multimodal texts. Data were gathered through two online surveys that explored the use of multimodal texts by teacher educators and pre-service teachers. Results indicate that educators were familiar with the standards and multimodality when teaching reading and writing, but lack of resourc… Show more

“…Indeed, given their cross-discursive and static nature, comics can provide learners with several affordances or 'opportunities for action' (Aronin 2014, 158) to develop their communicative repertoire, their understanding of different registers (Carter 2007;Frey and Fisher 2008), and their ability to synthesise a multiplicity of visual, linguistic, and spatial information (Jiménez and Meyer 2016) in foreign languages. As for teacher attitudes towards the use of comics as a pedagogical resource, studies indicate that teachers occasionally express ambivalence regarding comics and do not use them when teaching, often due to a lack of familiarity with the medium (Farías and Véliz 2019;Lapp et al 2012). In Russia, where this study took place, little empirical research exists on the use of comics in the language classroom despite an abundance of publications expounding on the theoretical benefits of using comics (e.g.…”

“…La investigación en enseñanza-aprendizaje del inglés en Chile ha crecido considerablemente en las últimas dos décadas. En la actualidad, el foco de la discusión está centrado en el currículo de formación inicial docente (Abrahams & Farías, 2010;Abrahams y Silva, 2017;Aliaga-Salas, 2017;Alvarado, Neira y Westmacott, 2019;Archanjo et al, 2019;Barahona, 2018;Farías & Véliz, 2019;Véliz y Véliz-Campos, 2018), las innovaciones metodológicas y didácticas (Barahona, 2017;Muñoz Campos, 2017;Charbonneau-Gowdy, 2016;Contreras-Soto et al, 2019;Ortiz de Zárate et al, 2014) y las creencias de los profesores en formación y en ejercicio (Barahona, 2014;Barahona e Ibaceta-Quijanes, 2019;Ormeño y Rosas, 2015;Tagle et al, 2017). Desde distintos flancos, todos los trabajos apuntan al mejoramiento de la calidad de la educación en inglés como lengua extranjera tanto en la universidad como en la escuela, que se esperaría pudiera traducirse en mejores niveles de competencia comunicativa en inglés y, por ende, en más oportunidades de interacción con el resto del mundo.…”
