A Case Analysis of The English Teaching Mode in Junior High School in a Multi-modal Context
Abstract
With the development of multimedia information technology, multi-modal teaching has attracted more attention from front-line
educators. This paper reviews the theory of multi-modal Discourse Analysis and its development in teaching, puts forward the analytical ideas
of multi-modal classroom teaching discourse, takes a quality class in the 12th junior Middle School English classroom teaching training as an
analysis example and evaluates the modal use in each teaching procedure. The result shows that when choosing the right modal to classroom
discourse, teachers should, firstly, consider the teaching context and teaching purpose; secondly, strengthen the language modals subject status; thirdly, use the body and image modal to enhance the learning experience.
