Multimodal Analysis of Image Texts in College English Textbooks using Visual Grammar Theory for Real-time Embeded Systems

Abstract

The existence of images in the English textbook can bring several benefits to colleges.~ Research has been done on multimodality to analyze the impact of the image text within English textbooks. This study uses visual grammar to identify image and text elements within textbooks. The multimodal framework is involved in Van Leeuwen's Grammar Visual Design, which has been used in this study to identify multimodal elements that can appear in the English textbook. Image or visual elements can provide pedagogical advantages to college students to understand the text.
