In this pathbreaking book, the authors bring together two crucial agendas for contemporary education. Multimodal literacy addresses changed realities of our contemporary media of representation and communication, from the everyday life texts of social media, to multimodal academic knowledge. They connect this to the challenge of designing learning , a process in which teachers actively create and nurture learning environments in dialogue with their students. In both these foci-meaning making and pedagogy-the book breaks new conceptual ground, while at the same time vividly locating its insights in the rich learning experiences of real teachers and their students. ---Bill Cope, Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA Teachers and researchers will find this book illuminating and affirming in its portrayal of collaborative negotiation of the theory, research and practice nexus as well as its stimulating and multi-faceted agenda for such ongoing research in multimodal literacy pedagogy. ---Len Unsworth, Professor in English and Literacies Education, Institute for Learning Sciences and Teacher Education, Australian Catholic University, Sydney, Australia The book bridges the gap between theory and practice in multimodal pedagogy. The chapters provide rich insights on how to translate theories of multimodality into teaching design, and how researchers can work with teachers to develop deeper understanding of their daily practices in classrooms. ---Yiqiong Zhang, Professor in Applied Linguistics, Center for Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, China The book advances the teaching of multimodal literacy as it connects theory and practice to shed light onto the design of multimodal learning experiences. Easily comprehensible and insightful, it serves as an illustrative guide for educational researchers and teacher practitioners who are interested in integrating viewing and representing into their lessons ---Dr Styliani Karatza, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
