Description
This book provides evidence-based and pedagogically-focused analyses of a variety of multimodal resources to scaffold learning in contexts of English-Medium Education (EME) in Asia.
The contributing authors are active researchers in the field of EME and multimodality across the primary, secondary and tertiary levels, from Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. They explore both the latest theoretical conceptions on the design of EME, by harnessing the affordances of multimodality, as well as practical applications of multimodal pedagogies for the teaching and learning of specific subjects, particularly STEM subjects. They provide examples of EME lessons with annotated notes to showcase good practice.

Reviews / Votes
'The book makes a major contribution towards the research, teaching, learning and assessment of multimodal pedagogies. It is groundbreaking in that it uses the research and studies in the context of Asia to provide insights from the regional experiences that can easily be used and built upon in other parts of the world.' * Robert Prince, University of Cape Town, South Africa *More details
