“…The multimodal analysis focuses on unravelling the significance and impact of a text that incorporates various modes of communication (Martin et al, 2021). These modes include not only the words spoken or written (verbal mode), but also the images, symbols, and overall visual composition (visual mode), as well as any accompanying sounds or music (aural mode).…”

This research paper presents a comprehensive multimodal discourse communication (MDC) of a selected advertisement from Wardah Cosmetics. This research explores the analysis of multiple modes of advertising for Wardah Islamic beauty products. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach to examine visual elements present in Wardah beauty advertisements. It incorporated the Bahasa Halliday Metafunction component and the multimodal discourse analysis framework Kress and Van Leeuwen developed. Through this analysis, the research aims to provide valuable insights into the discursive strategies employed by the brand and shed light on how the advertisement constructs and shapes cultural meanings, identities, and beauty ideals. The findings of this research contribute to the field of multimodal discourse analysis and offer practical implications for advertisers, marketers, and scholars interested in understanding the complex dynamics of persuasive communication in the context of cosmetics advertising.

“…At this stage, the teacher made more space for the students' vocabularies rather than the vocabularies of school science. Creating a wide range of TDMs might provide a gradual decontextualization implying that the students isolated the descriptions of scientific concepts from their contexts (Mortimer & Scott, 2003;Martin, Xu, & Seah, 2021).…”

This study presents an analysis of teacher discursive moves (TDMs) that aid students in altering their thinking and talking systems. The participants were a science who handled the immersion inquiry activities. The primary data source was the video recorded in the classroom. This video-based data was analyzed through systematic observation in two phases comprising coding and counting to reveal the mechanics of the discursive journey. Three assertions were made for the dynamics of the discursive journey. First, the teacher enacted a wide range of TDMs incorporating dialogically/monologically oriented, simplified (observe-compare-predict), and rather sophisticated moves (challenging). The challenging moves were the most featured among all analytical TDMs. Second, once higher-order categories were composed by collapsing subcategories of the displayed TDMs, the communicating-framing moves were the most prominent performed moves. Lastly, the teacher created an argumentative atmosphere in which the students had the right to evaluate and judge their classmates and teacher's utterances that modified the epistemic and social authority of the discursive journey. Finally, educational recommendations are offered in the context of teachers noticing the mechanics and dynamics of the discourse journey.

This study seeks to enrich our understanding of modeling‐based learning (MbL) in kindergarten science education, investigating the influences of different modeling tools on kindergarten child‐constructed models and their modeling reasoning. Therefore, this multi‐case study aimed at providing in‐depth descriptions of how MbL was enacted by 66 kindergarteners while combining the use of three modeling tools: paper‐and‐pencil, three‐dimensional structures, and dramatic play. We studied three different classes of children engaged in MbL who studied and modeled three different physical phenomena (wildflowers' parts and their functions, dissolving substances in water, shadow formation). We varied the modeling tools to investigate the ways these tools contributed to children's MbL. Data sources included the child‐constructed models, their modeling discourse, and mechanistic reasoning. From the videotaped lesson transcripts, we developed detailed accounts of the three MbL cases, and we analysed the discourse using modeling frame analysis and mechanistic reasoning analysis, along with the model component artifact analysis of the child‐constructed models. Findings suggested that the use of different modeling tools impacts child‐constructed models and their corresponding modeling‐based mechanistic reasoning. The findings also suggest that children's representational proficiencies seem to be related to the use of a variety of modeling tools, which enabled children to talk about the possible different ways of developing models and the different affordances of the various modeling tools' representational power. We use this evidence to argue that different modeling tools may afford different modeling possibilities that kindergarten children may draw upon possibly combining with modeling resources they have (e.g., role‐playing, storytelling, drawing).
