Multimodal Literacy in English as an Additional Language in Higher Education addresses three key aspects of multimodal literacy in higher education: identifying what is understood by multimodal literacy, its teachability in the EAL context, and how to integrate multimodal competence into professional development programmes.

This edited collection provides a diverse and international perspective on multimodal literacy development in both students and teachers in higher education settings. The volume is organised into three parts: the first examines the concept of multimodal literacy at university level from different perspectives; the second focuses on students, with examples of how multimodal literacy pedagogies in EAL courses can be meaningfully applied; and the third explores the design and implementation of EAL teachers? professional development programmes which promote and enhance multimodal literacy. Multimodal Literacy in English as an Additional Language in Higher Education paves the way for the integration of multimodal literacy theories and practices in the different EAL curricula.

This innovative volume brings together both theory and practical application and is essential reading for researchers, postgraduate students, and teachers and teacher trainers in the fields of language teaching, language learning, and education.
