Description

The aim of this module is to move beyond language as the primary lens on the social world and explore ways of documenting and analysing how people use a range of distinctly different semiotic resources for representation and communication. Students will engage with relevant theoretical and methodological frameworks, and explore multimodal communication across different settings, including classrooms, workplaces, museums and online spaces, using video and other visual data. This will make it possible to reflect on the potentialities and limitations of different modes, such as image, writing, gesture, speech, and gaze; the implications of changes in the semiotic landscape (e.g. the increase in the use of image) and, in doing so, consider the implications of multimodality for applied linguistics, TESOL, and education research.
