Information Age Publishing Toward Critical Multimodality: Theory, Research,
Book SynopsisThis edited volume seeks to answer the question, "What does it mean to be a critical multimodal scholar in educational spaces?" Toward Critical Multimodality highlights how choices made throughout multimodal design and research processes are critically-oriented and inextricably linked to power. We show how social semiotics and multimodality inform engagement with criticality in educational spaces through questioning dominant narratives (e.g., white, cisheteropatriarchal, ableist, classist perspectives), exploring relationships between selves and space, problematizing and reimagining educational practices, and dreaming of educational futures that are just, anti-oppressive, and with room for all to thrive while learning.These chapters demonstrate how studying multiple modalities in interaction (e.g., image, writing, color, spatial layout, gaze, proxemics, gestures) can reveal how power operates, provide students with opportunities to explore themselves and their identities with respect to power, and provide a vehicle for scholars to disrupt and transform oppressive educational practices. Furthermore, multiple chapters show alternative ways to display, construct and share knowledge as transformative pedagogical practice in learning environments. We reframe social semiotics and multimodality as an integral part of decentering dominant ideas of power and what "counts" as purposeful meaning making by highlighting how criticality and multimodality integrate theoretically and methodologically.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Teaching and Researching Reading
Book SynopsisNow in its third edition, Teaching and Researching Reading charts the field of reading (first and second language) systematically and coherently for the benefit of language teaching practitioners, students, and researchers. This volume provides background on how reading works and how reading differs for second language learners. The volume includes reading-curriculum principles, evidence-based teaching ideas, and a multi-step iterative process for conducting meaningful action research on reading-related topics. The volume outlines 14 projects for teacher adaptation and use, as well as numerous new and substantially expanded resource materials that can be used for both action research and classroom instruction. Trade Review"This is definitely ‘leading edge’ in the field of Applied Linguistics and in particular reading instruction in the TESOL field."Fatima Pirbhai-Illich, University of Regina, USA."I value the ways this textbook prompts pre-service teachers to think about areas of inquiry in their own teaching contexts."Maricel Santos, San Francisco State University, USAPraise for the previous edition"An excellent introduction to current theory on reading processing with a very welcomed emphasis on pedagogical application. Instead of the typical either-or (theory or practice) dilemma common to texts on reading research, the authors manage to effectively marry the two."Clay Williams, Akita International University, Japan"This is definitely ‘leading edge’ in the field of Applied Linguistics and in particular reading instruction in the TESOL field."Fatima Pirbhai-Illich, University of Regina, USA"I value the ways this textbook prompts pre-service teachers to think about areas of inquiry in their own teaching contexts."Maricel Santos, San Francisco State University, USAPraise for the previous edition"An excellent introduction to current theory on reading processing with a very welcomed emphasis on pedagogical application.
