But by no means should that stop us from tinkering around in there, using somewhat questionable and possibly dangerous techniques to make our brains do what we want.

Multimodal literacy focuses on the design of discourse by investigating the contributions of specific semiotic resources, (e.g. language, gesture, images) co-deployed across various modalities (e.g. visual, aural, somatic), as well as their interaction and integration in constructing a coherent multimodal text (such as advertisements, posters, news report, websites, films). The pedagogical approaches in developing multimodal literacy is informed by the seminal work by Emeritus Professor Michael Halliday’s in Systemic Functional Theory[2] as well as other international scholars and researchers in the field of multimodality.
