Lesson
Multimodal Text

What's In

Communication is not only relaying messages through voice and letters. It does not
limit its purpose to written and verbal text. Communication uses multimodal. When
technology came into this world, different modes of communication came to existence.
They are called multimodal.

2
CO_Q2_English 10_ Module 7
 Many texts are multimodal where meaning is comm unicated through combinations
of two or more modes. Modes include written language, spoken language, and patterns of
meaning that are visual, audio, gestural, tactile and spatial.

Multimodal texts include picture books, text books, graphic novels, comics, and posters,
where meaning is conveyed to the reader through varying combinations of visual (still image),
written language, and spatial modes.

Digital multimodal texts, such as film, animation, slide shows, e-posters, digital
stories, and web pages, convey meaning through combinations of written and spoken language, visual
(still and moving image), audio, gestural and spatial modes.

Live multimodal texts, for example, dance, performance, and oral storytelling, convey meaning
through combinations of modes such as gestural, spatial, spoken language, and audio.

In a visual text, for example, representation of people, objects, and places can be conveyed
using choices of visual semiotic resources such as line, shape, size, line and symbols, while written
language would convey this meaning through sentences using noun groups and adjectives which are
written or typed on paper or a screen.

Elements of Multimodal Text

A text may be defined as multimodal when it combines two or more semiotic systems.

• Linguistic: vocabulary, structure, grammar of oral/written language

• Visual: color, vectors and viewpoint in still and moving images
• Audio or Aural: volume, pitch and rhythm of music and sound effects
• Gestural: movement, facial expression and body language
• Spatial: proximity, direction, position of layout, organization of objects m space.

Multimodal text can be print, physical or digital. Examples of types of

Multimodal text are ...

CO_Q2_English 10_ Module 7
 The NSW Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum defines modes, multimodal and language
modes as "Comprising more than one mode. A multimodal text uses a combination of two or more
communication modes, for example print, image and spoken text as in film or computer
presentations."

It also mentions that ...

"language modes listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing and representing are often integrated and
interdependent activities used in responding to and composing texts in order to shape meaning"
and that "any combination of the modes may be involved in responding to or composing print,
sound, visual or multimedia text."

What is It

The Five Modes

Visual

The visual mode refers to the images and characters that people see.

It is sometimes possible to find compositions that almost, if not completely, rely on a

single mode. For instance, the "No Guns" symbol has no alphabetic text and no sound.
Like many signs, it relies for its meaning on visual information. However, we might be able to
say that the sign uses the spatial mode as well, since the gun appears behind the red bar that signals
"no" or "not allowed." So while the visual dominates in signs, even this composition is not "purely"
visual.

Aural or Audio

The aural mode is focused on sound including, but not limited to, music, sound
effects, ambient noises, silence, tone of voice in spoken language, volume of sound, emphasis,
and accent. L

An example of an aural mode one that depends almost exclusively on sound

-might be the recording of a public speech that was delivered orally to a live audience,
such as President Rodrigo Roa Duterte " State of the Nations Address
2020" This speech exemplifies the aural mode. Delivered before radio and recorded. A speech like
this one represents one of the early examples of hearing a speech without being in the same
time and place as the speaker.

5
CO_Q2_English 10_ Module 7
Gestural

The gestural mode "refers to the way movement is interpreted. Facial

expressions, hand gestures, body language, and interaction between people are all gestural
modes. This has always been important in face-to-face conversations and in theater, but it has
become more apparent on the web lately with the wide use of YouTube and other video
players. The gestural mode works with linguistic, visual, aural, and sometimes even spatial
modes in order to create more detail and convey it better to the consumer"

Linguistic (or Alphabetic)

The linguistic mode refers to written or spoken words. The mode includes word choice, the
delivery of written or spoken text, the organization of words into sentences and paragraphs, and
the development and coherence of words and ideas. Linguistic is not always the most important
mode; this depends on the other modes at play in the text, the type of text, and other factors.
Linguistic is probably the most widely used mode because it can be both read and heard on
both paper or audio. The linguistic mode is the best way to express details and list.

Spatial

The spatial mode, as the name implies, refers to the arrangement of elements in space. It
involves the organization of items and the physical closeness between people and objects.

A good example of the spatial mode might be the different ways in which chairs and desks
are arranged in a classroom.

Here is a "traditional" classroom: Individual desks are arranged in orderly rows,

facing the front of the room to make the teacher who would stand before the chalkboard the
center of attention. The teacher also stands at a distance from the students; the students who
sit in the back could hardly even see the board!

6
CO_Q2_English 10_ Module 7
 By contrast, in this advertisement for "collaborative classrooms," we see the chairs
and desks clustered in small groups so that students can work together on projects. The
classroom is also de-centered, which suggests that the teacher and students are working
together as partners rather than in a hierarchical manner. All of the people are in close proximity to
one another.
