Visual Literacy and Multimodality as Language Teaching Tools in Reception Classes: Z.E.P. (Zones of Educational Priority) in Greek Primary Schools
Abstract
In modern multicultural societies the teaching of a language has to face challenges that go beyond the limits of classical language teaching. In Greek multicultural and multilingual primary schools the Greek language is taught in addition to the native language as a second/foreign language in Reception Classes - Z.E.P. (Zones of Educational Priority). An important tool in language teaching is, among others, images, videos and generally multimodal material. In this research, 162 teachers were asked to answer how important is the use of images and multimodal texts in school textbooks and in the teaching of the Greek language and in addition, what are the benefits and what are the difficulties of the students during the use of images in the language lesson. Through statistical analysis, it was found that images, videos and various multimodal materials contribute significantly to the teaching of Greek as a second/foreign language, providing multiple cognitive and learning benefits to students, despite the difficulties they may face.
