Multimodality Discourse Analysis in Junior High School English Reading Class Abstract The concept of multimodality discourse analysis has been applied in various fields, English education being one of them. Multi-literacy ability becomes one of the important English abilities and reading teaching is one way for cultivating students’ multi-literacy ability. Based on Halliday’s functional grammar, a proper multimodality discourse analysis structure with five levels is proposed. This study provides an analysis for two multimodal discourses from the level of content. The study first presents a case analysis towards reading material and then explains how modalities contribute to meaning construction. Then a similar analysis is done for an open reading class of the material. By analyzing the functions of different modality, the study shows that choosing different modalities in class teaching makes the class efficient. Also the study points out that properly applying a multimodal teaching approach provides benefits for both teacher and students.48269

初中英语阅读教学的多模态话语分析

摘  要多模态话语分析理论被应用在许多不同的学科领域，而英语教育是其中之一。多元识读能力是重要的英语能力之一，而阅读教学是培养学生多元识读能力的手段之一。以韩礼德功能语法为基础，一个由五个层面组成的多模态话语分析框架得以提出。本研究从内容层面针对两个不同的多模态语篇进行分析。首先研究分析了一个多模态阅读文本，并解释了各个模态是如何协作构建意义的。随后本研究对以该阅读文本进行教学的阅读课进行多模态分析，得出在课堂中应用不同模态进行教学能使得教学更有效。最后通过比较课堂模态与阅读文本模态，本研究还表明文本模态对课堂模态的选择有一定的参考价值源+自-优尔:文,论/文]网[www.youerw.com。同时，本研究还指出有意识的在其他类型课堂中应用多模态教学手段对学生和教师都有益处。
