中国外语界对多模态的研究虽起步较晚,对多模态设计的相关研究仅在实践层面,特别是课堂教学语境下进行了一定探讨,但并未在理论层面进一步深化,故有想当然之嫌。文章以“设计”哲学分析为基础,重点探讨了语境视角下外语教学的多模态设计。本文以为,在语言文字已经不再一家为大担当信息传递、意义构建唯一资源的时代,对进入语言学视阀的多模态设计进行理论研究已是不可或缺。 Although the study of multimodal in China’s foreign language circles started late, the related researches on multimodal design have been discussed only in the practical level, especially in the context of classroom teaching. However, they have not been further deepened at the theoretical level, so there are Take for granted. Based on the philosophical analysis of “Design ”, this article focuses on the multi-modal design of foreign language teaching under the perspective of context. This paper argues that it is indispensable to carry out the theoretical research on the multimodal design of linguistic visualization in the era when language and writing are no longer the major source of information transmission and meaning construction.
