| Abstract | Reflecting back on my teacher training in English there was limited information presented on how to interpret modes other than language, such as image and sound. I do recall one course or subject on media literacy where we would discuss fervently a range of advertising materials - our lecturer always saying that 'sex' sells! Moving through to the present, my experience in studying and working in the arts, and in particular music and visual art, has allowed me to apply this knowledge and understanding when interpreting the current Australian Curriculum: English. However, it is not the case for all teachers of English particularly if limited training or professional development has been provided on the comprehension and composition of multimodal texts. |
