ENGL 3241: Teaching Multimodal and Digital Texts in English Language Arts

3 Credit Hours

Prerequisite: ENGL 2271 and admission into the English Education program
This course provides students with experience in the ways in which multimodal and digital texts can be used meaningfully in the English Language Arts classroom. Students explore and analyze different text types (e.g., digital, multimodal, film and video, still images, etc.) and apply what they have learned through the creation of their own compositions as a way to develop comfort with and control using digital tools. The course prepares students to develop adolescents’ literacy practices with multimodal and digital texts in the English/Language Arts classroom.
