Theory in about 1 minute: Multimodality

In the eighth episode of the series "Theory in about 1 minute”, the concept of multimodality is presented by Alistair Clark.

"Theory in about 1 minute" is a series of podcasts and videocasts recorded in three languages (Brazilian Portuguese, French and English) that seeks to resume, in a less academic and more accessible language, some basic theoretical concepts for studies in Language Acquisition, from a dialogical-discursive perspective, or related to it. The texts were written by many hands and cover topics such as subjectivity, alterity, dialogue, language, speech genres, mother tongue, bilingualism, literacies, early literacy, and many others. Knowing the difficulty in addressing such complex concepts, especially in just one minute – or in about - the goal of the series is to bring, in a few words, an introduction of the theme, the beginning of the discussion, raising issues that can be debated inside and outside the walls of the university, seeking to relate theory and life. The series is another initiative of the Research Group on Language Acquisition at Unesp/Araraquara (GEALin), which, under the coordination of the PhD Professor Alessandra Del Ré, has promoted actions to popularize the results of scientific research in the area and was carried out with the support of the Institutional Program of Internationalization CAPES-Print.
