Interfachlichkeit & Multimodalität im Beruf

Abstract

Processes of interdisciplinary multimodal writing are of growing importance for professional communication because texts produced and used in these domains increasingly incorporate written and pictorial elements. This is, among others, due to them being produced across disciplines that conventionally draw on various types of pictures (photos, drawings, diagrams etc.). This article focusses on the results of Holste’s study (2019) on interdisciplinary multimodal processes of text composition in public tendering procedures, that are relevant for teaching interdisciplinary multimodal processes of writing. On this basis, a didactic concept is developed for online seminars at universities that aim to convey the aforementioned skills.
