Teaching and learning involve more than just language. The
teachers' use of gestures, the classroom spaces they occupy and the
movements they make, as well as the tools they use, work together
with language as a multimodal ensemble of meanings. Embodied
teaching is about applying the understandings from multimodal
communication to the classroom. It is about helping teachers
recognise that the moves they make and the tools they use in the
classroom are part of their pedagogy and contribute to the design
of the students' learning experience. In response to the changing
profile and needs of learners in this digital age, pedagogic shifts
are required. A shift is the evolving role of teachers from
authority of knowledge to designers of learning. This book
discusses how, using examples drawn from case studies, teachers can
use corporeal resources and (digital) tools to design learning
experiences for their students. It advances the argument that the
study of the teachers' use of language, gestures, positioning, and
movement in the classroom, from a multimodal perspective, can be
productive. This book is intended for educational researchers and
teacher practitioners, as well as curriculum specialists and policy
makers. The central proposition is that as teachers develop a
semiotic awareness of how their use of various meaning-making
resources express their unique pedagogy they can use these
multimodal resources aptly and fluently to design meaningful
learning experiences. This book also presents a case for further
research in educational semiotics to understand the embodied ways
of meaning-making in the pedagogic context.
