“…In deciding how to best deliver international students' perspectives to faculty audiences, the team chose video-a modality which communicates its contents through picture, animation, sound, music and voice, as well as "just text. " For some time now, teachers in both ESL and composition/rhetoric have incorporated multimodal forms into their teaching (Hafner, 2014;Johnson & Arola, 2016;Lauer, 2002;Laverick, 2012;Stille & Prasad, 2015;Takayoshi & Ittersum, 2018;Wyosocki et al, 2019;Yi et al, 2020). Remix projects, as our own first-year writing program names them, can be potent as a form of expression for multilingual learners, especially those for whom English is the second (or third or fourth) language.…”

“…Los principios que ofrece el capítulo (Wysocki et al, 2019) describen una serie de cuestiones que, según los autores, afectan no solo al concepto de multimodalidad, sino también a nuestra tarea como educadores. La unión de retórica y pensamiento, la producción creativa, el currículum en tanto contenido de enseñanza y su organización, la función de lo corporal en la enseñanza y sus modos de realización, el relieve de pensar las infraestructuras y lo que conlleva abogar por lo multimodal en la enseñanza, son aspectos que se discuten allí, y se proponen como guía para el desarrollo futuro de esa imbricación de distintos recursos semióticos para la creación de significado.…”

Among the current social networks, compared to other more playful spaces, Twitter continues to be a space for debate, ideal for argumentation, because it allows us to link other documents and multimodal elements such as videos, images or animations, include labels and create threads that expand the discursive possibilities of the message, creating complex conversations between different people. In recent years, Twitter threads have become a tool for organizing discourse on different topics, such as politics or education. In this research we will focus on this last field, especially from the area of Didactics of Language and Literature. We start from a selection of educational profiles that serve us as role models in this network. Subsequently, a compilation of threads made between 2018 and 2022 is presented, to subsequently analyze 50 specific threads on educational threads. Different tools are used to obtain the maximum information from profiles and threads and an analysis template is adapted that highlights the multimodal possibilities of these digital conversations. Subsequently, different examples of threads are shown to show their hypertext complexity. The research shows that at the moment the educational debate on the web continues to take place on this social network. Entre las redes sociales actuales, frente a otros espacios más lúdicos, Twitter sigue siendo un espacio de debate, idóneo para la argumentación, porque nos permite enlazar otros documentos y elementos multimodales como vídeos, imágenes o animaciones, incluir etiquetas y crear hilos que amplían las posibilidades discursivas del mensaje, creando complejas conversaciones entre distintas personas. En los últimos años, los hilos de Twitter se han convertido en un instrumento para organizar el discurso sobre distintos temas, como puede ser la política o la educación. En esta investigación nos centraremos en este último campo, especialmente desde el área de Didáctica de la Lengua y la Literatura. Partimos de una selección de perfiles educativos que nos sirven como modelos de actuación en esta red. Posteriormente, se presenta una recopilación de hilos realizada entre los años 2018 y 2022, para analizar, a continuación, 50 hilos concretos sobre hilos educativos. Se utilizan distintas herramientas para obtener el máximo de información de perfiles e hilos y se adapta una plantilla de análisis que destaca las posibilidades multimodales de estas conversaciones digitales. Por último, se muestran distintos ejemplos de hilos para mostrar su complejidad hipertextual. La investigación demuestra que en estos momentos el debate educativo en Internet se sigue realizando en esta red social.

“…Such multimodal writing holds significant importance and has been acknowledged by experts in the field and scholars worldwide. Composition scholars worldwide argue that a composition and rhetoric pedagogy based on the raising critical thinking and cultural cognisance of affordances in digital composition and constraints of diverse communication modes should be the cornerstone for academic success (Gonzales, 2018;Wyosocki et al, 2019). The writing practices on digital platforms do not just include writing.…”

“…This study will help to germinate a new scholarly dimension toward teaching writing skills using multimodality. It has been stated in 'On Multimodality: A Manifesto' that a multimodal pedagogy is not merely additive; instead, it is a direction, it is a stance, and a benefitting of innovative modes of creating, composing, and understanding what is meant (Wyosocki et al, 2019). It will inform the curriculum developers and designers to keep the role of digital literacies in mind, significantly when the present Government is investing in human capital to incorporate digital composition and develop digital literacy as a critical skill in the national curricula all across (British Council, 2015).…”

In this paper, we delve into the experiences of 60 English as a Second Language (ESL) undergraduate learners who actively participated in distinct multimodal instructional units within their writing curriculum. Drawing upon a qualitative analysis encompassing design interviews, written reflections, and video observations, this research elucidates the principal themes that emerged from the learners' perspectives related to the potential of Digital Multimodal Composition (DMC) in the ESL context. These themes encompassed the exceptional opportunities afforded by this approach, which included the capacity to conceptualise ideas through the incorporation of visuals and auditory elements, the ability to communicate in novel and inventive manners, the platform it provided for the authentic expression of personal identities, and its effectiveness in the contextualising topic within their learning journey. Furthermore, this research highlights the primary challenges and constraints voiced by the learners, which encompassed a gamut of technical issues and the quest for the most suitable mode of expression within the multimodal framework. Leveraging these insights, the study culminates in a discussion of implications for both research and practice, particularly about the integration of digital multimodal composition in the multilingual classroom setting.
