The Effect of Multimodal Learning Models on Language Teaching and Learning

Abstract

When we talk about multimedia learning, we can ask several questions to ourselves understand the effect of information and communication technologies (ICT's) on our lives. ICT's have introduced new instructions that we use to think; consequently, the ways in which we think would also change. New identities are born that are connected to communication tools. From the viewpoint of applied linguistics, we are specifically interested in the effects that these communicative skills can have on the processes of language production and interpretation. Our conceptions of language and communication have changed substantially with the arrival of computer and its digital capabilities. Communications have also changed considerably. These changes have affected the school communities and the relationships established between teachers and students now involve other modes of cognitive involvement and social interactions made possible by digital online communications. In this paper, the researchers discuss the issues of ICT, multimedia learning, its principles, CALL, its advantages and implications of multimedia learning. Then multimodal learning, multimodality and second language acquisition, and implications of multimodality in language learning and teaching will be discussed. A review of the literature will determine how multimodal models affect the teaching and learning processes

Augmented Reality in Educational Inclusion. A Systematic Review on the Last Decade

“…No models and methodologies were reported. In this sense, frameworks supported by multimodal learning and AR (Gilakjani et al, 2011) can be successful due to the multiplicity of channels and means of communication where the learning process is directed, guiding the creation of learning scenarios in contexts of diversity. Likewise, the consideration of the universal design for learning, a conceptual framework for attention to diversity that has been widely validated, could provide inputs from the conceptual standpoint of these models, frameworks and methodologies.…”

Students’ Problem in Listening Comprehension at University Level

“…Multimedia is one form of technological developments that influence large enough toward the changes in foreign language learning system, especially learning English as a second language or a foreign language. This is evidenced by the increasing number of teaching and learning process that uses this multimedia technology (Gilakjani, Ismail. Ahmadi, 2011;Chang, Lehman, 2012;Asma, 2013).…”

Digital Production and Students as Learning Designers

“…These technologies and digital productions have only just begun to gain acceptance in school. Therefore, the research into their impact on subjectmatter learning is scarce and primarily directed towards language subjects (Gilakjani, Ismail, & Ahmadi, 2011;Jewitt, 2011). Some studies document that learning occurs in the actual construction of digital products, where the students search for information and experiment, and related reflections are transformed into subject-matter learning.…”
