讲座内容简介：
Interpreting the image–language interface in multimodal texts is now an integral aspect of reading paper and digital media texts in almost all areas of communication in today’smultimedia world. This is reflected in international literacy tests such as PISA and IELTS. It is also well recognized as a crucial aspect of reading comprehension in a number of official school syllabi such as the recently published Australian Curriculum: English (ACE). This presentation outlines the relevant expected student learning outcomes in this curriculum and draws attention to the need for further research to provide a robust and comprehensive account of the nature of image–language relations to explicate these intended outcomes in a manner that will support multimodal literacy pedagogy. Recent semiotic accounts of image–language interaction are outlined and related to the results of a study showing the relative comprehension difficulty of different kinds of image–language relations. Also discussed in relation to this study is the extent to which the current Australian national assessment program in reading addresses the image–language interface and the nature of the image–language relations included in this assessment program. This research suggests that the current discrepant emphases on the image–language interface in the ACE and the national assessment program could be brought much more into alignment to generate an assessment program that more adequately addresses reading as the integrative negotiation of visual and verbal information. In teaching English as a foreign language, developing reading comprehension must also be seen as the integrative negotiation of image and language, requiring new multimodal reading pedagogies and the further refinement of tests such as PISA and IELTS to take full account of the multimodal nature of an increasing variety of texts that are encountered in educational, vocational, civic, social, and personal contexts.
