Exploring multimodality in English language teaching textbooks,
this book focusses on how language and image are co-deployed within
these resources in order to create and convey interpersonal
meaning. Presenting cutting-edge research in appraisal studies and
multimodal discourse analysis, Yumin Chen uses systemic functional
linguistics and social semiotics to investigate how different
voices are introduced and aligned inter-modally in textbooks,
extending the appraisal systems of engagement and graduation across
language and image. The book also demonstrates how linguistic and
visual semiotic resources co-instantiate attitude, paying special
attention to the attitudinal dimension of curriculum goals for
school students of different ages. Furthermore, it examines how
different kinds of coding orientation are deployed in various
educational contexts and different constituent genres.
Demonstrating how the linguistic and semiotic theories can be
adapted to analyze multimodal texts across language and image,
Interpersonal Meaning in Multimodal English Textbooks offers new
perspectives on how to employ multimodal resources to enhance the
teaching and learning of English as a foreign language.
