Abstract:

Exploring multimodality in English language teaching textbooks, this
book focusses on how language and image are co-deployed within these
resources in order to create and convey interpersonal meaning.
Presenting cutting-edge research in appraisal studies and multimodal
discourse analysis, Yumin Chen uses systemic functional linguistics
and social semiotics to investigate how different voices are
introduced and aligned inter-modally in textbooks, extending the
appraisal systems of engagement and graduation across language and
image. The book also demonstrates how linguistic and visual semiotic
resources co-instantiate attitude, paying special attention to the
attitudinal dimension of curriculum goals for school students of
different ages. Furthermore, it examines how different kinds of coding
orientation are deployed in various educational contexts and different
constituent genres.
Demonstrating how the linguistic and semiotic theories can be adapted
to analyze multimodal texts across language and image, Interpersonal
Meaning in Multimodal English Textbooks offers new perspectives on how
to employ multimodal resources to enhance the teaching and learning of
English as a foreign language.

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics
