Skulstad, A. S. (2023). Text Creation in English Teaching. Oslo: Universitetsforlaget.

The overall question of this newly published book is: How should writing and multimodal text creation be taught in the subject of English in Norwegian schools? This question is relevant to all EAL teachers and teacher educators.

"This book offers a wide view of text creation in the subject of English, including other semiotic resources beside writing. Writing is not viewed in isolation from the other basic skills. Particularly the relationship between writing and reading, and between writing and digital skills, is foregrounded. The book emphasises that developing students' (multimodal) textual competence involves raising their awareness, reflection and critical thinking as to the power of language and other semiotic resources, such as the persuasive power of images." - Universitetsforlaget

Digital book launch: Text Creation in English Teaching

 

Diamantopoulou, S. and Ørevik, S. (2022). Multimodality in English Language Learning. First ed. Routledge Studies in Multimodality. New York: Routledge.

"This edited volume provides research-based knowledge on the use, production and assessment of multimodal texts in the teaching and learning of English as an Additional Language (EAL). 

The book reflects growing interest in research on EAL, with increasing numbers of learners of English worldwide and the growing relevance of EAL to numerous education systems. The volume examines different aspects of English from a multimodal perspective, showcasing empirical research from across five continents and all three levels of education. Applying frameworks based on Multimodal Social Semiotics and Systemic Functional Linguistics, chapters focus on the use and affordances of multimodal texts in pedagogy, literature, culture, text production, assessment and curriculum development connected to EAL. Directing attention to the significance of modes beyond speech and writing in EAL, the volume provides a wide range of perspectives and experiences that can be applied more widely and inspire other practices in the global and diverse field of EAL teaching, learning and assessment. 

This collection will be of interest to scholars in multimodality, language education, and teacher education." - Routledge
