Abstract

As technological advancements continue to reshape educational methodologies, the concept of multi-modal teaching has garnered significant interest. This approach, characterized by the integration of various sensory modes and media formats, offers students a comprehensive and varied learning experience, enhancing the richness and diversity of information acquisition. In the realm of English language education, multi-modal teaching has not only gained momentum but also received endorsement and encouragement from the Ministry of Education. Despite this, there remains a notable gap in research specifically focusing on the application of multi-modal teaching strategies in senior high school English reading classes. This study aims to underscore the importance of adopting a multi-modal teaching framework in these settings. It presents a detailed teaching design tailored for multi-modal instruction and employs a specific case study in reading to evaluate the impact of this approach on enhancing students' engagement, linguistic insights, and communicative skills.
