Creating Multimodal Texts in Language Classes: Advantages and Disadvantages with Reference to EFL Libyan Situation

Abstract

Language teachers and those involved in the EFL teaching-learning process often face challenges in choosing the most appropriate strategies for effective classroom management. While some modern approaches have failed, others have proven successful across different contexts. One such effective approach is the use of multimodal texts, which integrate multiple modes of communication. These texts are successfully utilized by teachers of various backgrounds and experience levels, with diverse learners across age groups and learning environments. This chapter highlights the concept and significance of multimodal texts in language classes.
