Multimodal Discourse Analysis of English Classrooms in Rural Primary Schools
The multimodal discourse analysis of elementary English classrooms in the context of"Internet+"education can help to further grasp the new trends of English teaching in rural elementary school.Using ELAN annotation analysis software,this study annotated,counted and analyzed multimodal discourse in elementary school English classrooms from both macro and micro perspectives.It was found that Internet distance-supported English classrooms are multimodal discourse classrooms.However,the problems faced by classroom teaching from the perspective of multimodal analysis include the limited use of resources such as modes and symbols,the lack of close synergy between resources,and the absence of an online-offline modal linkage mechanism.Using multimodal discourse analysis theory,multimodal teaching resources should be built,"dual-teacher"teaching classroom created,and a new type of virtual instructional research established,so as to jointly help the development of rural education.
