Multimodal Compositions for Academic Writing #497

Multimodal compositions can be an effective way to teach multiliteracy skills in EFL writing classes. However, designing assignments that address both academic writing and multiliteracy skills can be difficult. To address this problem, this workshop introduces “multimodal remediation-based compositions” (MRCs), in which students convert a composition from one mode to another. Using authentic student examples, the workshop discusses how to design MRCs, apply MRCs to different courses, assess MRCs, and incorporate MRCs into existing curricula.
