Abstract
Abstract Impacted by globalisation, shifts in conceptualisations of language and literacy call for alternative pedagogic practices. This study explores how learner-driven, teacher-learner ‘owned’ learning spaces can be constructed to promote learners’ pluriliteracies development involving transcultural language use with multimodal resources for meaning-making. To contribute to current shifts in thinking, this research investigates the role of visualisation in English language classrooms to explore the alignment of a visual strategy within a pluriliteracies model to enhance learning, teaching, and learner agency. Sixteen younger learners from a primary school in China experimented with drawings for English language learning via an online platform to examine the complementary coordination between visualisation and languaging. Implications for furthering the study of visualising and communicating learning in Learning Conversations will be discussed.
期刊介绍：
English Teaching & Learning (ETL) is the first scholarly journal in Taiwan dedicated solely to research on the teaching and learning of English as a second or foreign language. It aims to publish quality papers that contribute to all aspects of the profession, with a particular preference for studies that seek to combine both theory and practice.
