MULTIMODALITY IN LANGUAGE LEARNING
Abstract
This article explores the concept of multimodality in language learning, highlighting its significance in enhancing learners' engagement and comprehension. Multimodality refers to the use of multiple modes of communication—such as visual, auditory, and kinesthetic—rather than relying solely on traditional linguistic modes. The study examines the theoretical frameworks supporting multimodal approaches, the practical applications in language classrooms, and the implications for language educators. By integrating multimodal resources, educators can create a more inclusive and dynamic learning environment that caters to diverse learner needs, ultimately fostering better language acquisition and retention.
