多模态和独立学院学生多元识读能力研究

A Study on Multimodality and Independent College Students' Multiliteracies

传播媒介的发展使得多元识读能力这一识读理念引起了广泛关注。以独立学院学生的英语PPT课件为材料,该研究分析了学生多元识读能力的水平和具体应用。研究发现,在模态使用上,学生使用最多的是语言和图像。少数学生已经意识到听觉模态在意义构建方面的作用。通过和学生的访谈,研究还发现语言水平、多元识读知识和使用的信息渠道影响多元识读能力的具体应用。受制于上述因素,学生多元识读能力的使用在英语PPT课件的制作中有自己的特点。

The development of communication technologies makes multiliteracies attract wide attention. Taking texts of indepen-dent college students’PPT presentations as materials, this study investigates both the level and the use of students’multiliteracy abilities in the making and presentation of English PPT discourses. It is found that natural language and image are chief modes used in the construction of meaning and also some students in this study begin to realize the function of auditory modes in the construction of meaning. From the interviews with students, it is found that language proficiency, students ’knowledge of multi-literacy and information channels are factors affecting the use of multiliteracy abilities. Affected by these factors, their use of multi-literacy abilities in the making of English PPT discourses has its own characteristics.
