Abstract

Multimodality theory has been applied in a second language learning environment where various language transformation approaches such as oral and written language, videos, gestures, and movements, are vital to improving L2 students’ understanding. Moreover, the realization of multimodal teaching through technology instruments is increasingly common in L2 classrooms. However, given that most studies focused on the upper-grade students and teachers’ concern about being pushed to margin roles by technology, it is crucial to study further the effects of multimodal teaching on primary students’ language learning in the digital era. This mixed-method study combines the communication analysis of three authentic L2 scenarios from Mr. Val’s classrooms, an online interview with Mr. Val, and a questionnaire designed for Shangiu Shiyan primary school students (n = 79, M = 8.5 ± 1.5). The findings are that multimodal teaching can improve students’ learning by enhancing their participation, concentration, interaction with teachers, and comprehension. Teachers and students hold positive attitudes toward integrating it in L2 English classrooms.
