Making-Meaning of Multimodal Texts: The Case of Infographics

Myriam Abdel-Malek of LCTL's Arabic program will present.

 

Title: Making-Meaning of Multimodal Texts: The Case of Infographics

Description: One of the main goals of learning a new language is to be able to communicate in a new culture. However, communication includes modes of expression other than language (e.g., images and colors). This presentation will show how meanings are made in multimodal texts, such as infographics, in two different cultures and will discuss pedagogical implications for incorporating such texts in language classes.

Location: The Robert Henderson Language Media Center @ G17 Cathedral of Learning
