This end of master’s degree project approaches the topic of multimodality from the
perspective of social semiotic multimodal analysis and its implications within the
education landscape. Considering the importance of developing students’ communicative
competence in English so as to be successful both in academic and non-academic
contexts, this project presents a multimodal proposal aimed at improving Spanish EFL
students’ oral skills. Despite this, the lockdown of Spanish education centres due to the
spread of COVID-19 impeded the implementation of this proposal in the Official School
of Languages of Castelló. Therefore, the present master’s dissertation aims at finding out
the perceptions that two EFL teachers have regarding multimodality, non-verbal
communication, and the designed proposal. In order to do so, the project includes a
literature review section which deals with multimodality and its relationship with
education and non-verbal communication; a section focused on the multimodal proposal;
and a section which details the methodology and the results of the study, which have been
obtained by interviewing two EFL teachers and analysing linguistic legal documents that
regulate foreign language courses around Europe and Spain. Finally, the discussion will
prove that multimodal learning is still facing challenges that mainly depend on education
policies and that need to be overcome because, in overall, multimodality contributes to
make the teaching-learning process rich and successful. [-]
