Multimodal+Literacies

Multimodal Literacies
Although generally speaking Multimodal Literacies and Multiliteracies are defined as the same thing, for the purposes of understanding the different purposes, let's define them as this;

MULTIMODAL LITERACIES Using a range of digital and print media to teach literacy to students. Using a wider range of resources to develop literacy skills. For example; a picture book might be used to help a students develop a reading strategy.

MULTILITERACIES This is teaching students how to read and write texts using the five cues of the semiotic system. You could explicitly be teaching students to read the auditory cues in a portion of a film, or to create a script for a podcast using auditory and linguistic cues. This involves students learning to understand meaning from an auditory cue the way they would from a written text.

__Semiotic Systems of Multimodal Literacies__

1. Li Linguistic – oral and written language, for example, use vocabulary and grammar 2. V Visual – still and moving images, for example, use colour, vectors and viewpoint. 3. Auditory – music and sound effects, for example, use volume, pitch and rhythm. 4. G Gestural – facial expression and body language, for example, use movement, speed and stillness. 5. S Spatial – layout and organisation of objects and space, for example, use proximity, direction and position.
