Abstract

In 2019–2020, students of two English for Architects and Civil Engineers courses at a German university were tasked with creating a digital, multimodal video composition explaining a technical concept to a lay audience. The resultant multimodal artefacts, however, often did not exhibit typical semiotic patterns associated with explaining or describing in science-related disciplines. In particular, 78% of artefacts featured ‘mediated focalisation’, a framing technique used to align the composer with their audience and more commonly associated with fictional narrative or social media. The paper describes how this framing technique appeared in the artefacts and explores how and to what effect it was used. It will unpack the implications of using this technique for the performance of professionalism and ‘authenticity’ in architecture and STEM communication. A subsystem of mediated focalisation techniques and a new ‘coding orientation’ will be proposed, so that educators may better prepare students for these emergent shifts.

视频解释中的中介聚焦:对建筑和STEM交流的影响
在2019-2020年,德国一所大学的两门建筑师和土木工程师英语课程的学生被要求创建一个数字的、多模式的视频作品,向外行人解释一个技术概念。然而,由此产生的多模态人工制品往往没有表现出与科学相关学科中解释或描述相关的典型符号学模式。特别是,78%的人工制品具有“中介聚焦”的特点,这是一种用于使作曲家与听众保持一致的框架技术,更常与虚构的叙事或社交媒体联系在一起。本文描述了这种框架技术是如何出现在人工制品中,并探讨了它是如何使用的,以及使用了什么效果。它将揭示使用这种技术在建筑和STEM交流中表现专业性和“真实性”的含义。将提出中介聚焦技术子系统和新的“编码取向”,以便教育工作者可以更好地为学生准备这些紧急转变。
