Abstract

As multimodal texts become ubiquitous in the digital age, analyzing how writers interact with readers via the multimodal genre is getting increasingly important. Enlightened by Kress and van Leeuwen's (2006) work on visual design, D'Angelo (2016) extended the metadiscourse model (Hyland, 2004) and proposed a new framework of visual metadiscourse to analyze academic posters. In this study, we adopted the well-recognized metadiscourse model (Hyland, 2004; Hyland & Tse, 2004) and developed D'Angelo's (2016) visual metadiscourse framework to evaluate the comprehensibility and engagement of medical students' infographics completed in an EAP class. A total of 127 Visme infographics on how to prevent hypertension were collected and analyzed. We focused on how the students used diverse metadiscourse resources to inform and engage the audience in their infographics. We coded interactive and interactional features regarding both textual metadiscourse and visual metadiscourse for each poster and identified the overall patterns of the EAP students' metadiscourse use. We also zoomed in on illustrative posters to depict the students' use of various metadiscourse resources. This study adds to the metadiscourse model by extending it to the multimodal genre and sheds new light on multimodal pedagogy.

重新探索作者与读者的互动:EAP学生信息图中的元话语分析
随着数字时代多模式文本的普遍存在,分析作家如何通过多模式类型与读者互动变得越来越重要。受Kress和van Leeuwen(2006)视觉设计工作的启发,D’Angelo(2016)扩展了元话语模型(Hyland,2004),并提出了一个新的视觉元话语框架来分析学术海报。在本研究中,我们采用了公认的元话语模型(Hyland,2004;Hyland&;Tse,2004),并开发了D’Angelo(2016)的视觉元话语框架来评估医学生在EAP课堂上完成的信息图的可理解性和参与度。共收集并分析了127张关于如何预防高血压的Visme信息图。我们关注的是学生们如何使用不同的元话语资源,在他们的信息图中向观众提供信息并让他们参与进来。我们为每张海报编码了文本元话语和视觉元话语的互动和互动特征,并确定了EAP学生元话语使用的总体模式。我们还放大了插图海报,描绘了学生对各种元话语资源的使用。本研究通过将元话语模型扩展到多模态类型,为多模态教育学提供了新的视角。
