大学英语教师多模态运用调查研究--以武汉地区高校为例

College English Teachers' Perceptions and Applications of Multimodality in Their Teaching Practice: A Case of Universities in Wuhan

提高教师多模态应用能力是有效推进教学效果的重要措施。研究调查了武汉地区高校大学英语教师对多模态识读能力的认识、态度和应用能力。分析表明,大部分教师对多模态的概念有所认知,但理解存在偏差;在多模态运用方面,高校类别和教师性别会产生显著性影响,而教龄对此没有显著性影响。此外,教师在多模态使用上存在模态滥用与匮乏以及不同模态配合失衡的问题。在多模态应用上应遵从适量适度和合理搭配的原则。

It is desirable to enhance the ability of Chinese EFL teachers to apply multimodal resources in their teaching practice.An investigation is carried out to explore the perception,attitudes and application of“College English”teachers at universities in Wuhan.It is found that over half of the participants have some understanding of“multimodality”but misunderstood it as well,and that the level of institutions and gender of teachers have significant impact on their attitudes toward and the application of multimodality,while years of teaching have no impact.Besides,misunderstanding exists regarding the application and collaboration between different modes.It is suggested that teachers follow the principles of adequate,proper and collaborative usage of multimodalities in their teaching.
