Digital Multimodal Composing Reviews

The combination of multiple sensory and communicative modes to create meaning is a familiar feature of modern life and contemporary education, and there are few better introductions to the topic than this. Kessler explores the diverse theories, approaches and methodologies used to conduct multimodal research and offers insightful practical tips for teachers using multimodal composing in L2 classrooms. * Ken Hyland, University of East Anglia, UK *
This monograph delves into the dynamic intersection of digital multimodal composing (DMC) and second language acquisition, seamlessly connecting theory, research, and practice.
