Abstrakt: | Young learners (YLs) learn languages and experience multimodality, being exposed to various
resources of meaning from the early age. They are challenged by modes while learning from English
language teaching (ELT) materials. The materials are the important semiotic resources as well as cultural
and social artefacts that influence children’s perception and holistic development. They serve both as a
mirror and window reflecting the current educational policy, linguistic and didactic approaches, culture
and social behaviours. The aim of the paper is to identify the multimodal aspects of cultural content
offered in ELT coursebooks in primary schools. There are two major questions of the research project.
What are the characteristic features of multimodality in English coursebooks for older YLs? What are the
image-language relations in cultural content of English coursebooks for older YLs? The project involves
multimodal discourse analysis (MDA) and follows Stȍckl’s framework. There are two approaches and
two stages involved. The quantitative approach depicts the amount of image, language, sound and music
modes in ELT coursebooks for older children. The qualitative approach relates to the descriptions of
image-language relations in the cultural content. The image-language relations bring the data on the inner
construction of the visual and verbal input in ELT materials including cultural sections. The amount,
intensity and character of the visual and verbal content changes in ELT materials respectively with the
age of learners. The role of image seems to decrease with the years of learning and abdicate in favour of
the written messages. It is hoped that the project will bring supportive implications for those interested in
materials development and visual teaching. |
