In the wake of grim events such as Russian invasion on Ukraine, Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, the death of George Floyd in America and mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand, all occurring amid the pandemic of COVID‐19, it became increasingly more important to recognise literacy work that promotes a critically informed and just society. T...
In March 2020, when the pandemic hit the nation, elementary school teachers turned to bitmoji classrooms to sustain students’ learning. Multiple virtual replicas of classroom themes were instantly created and shared across social media spaces. The sudden craze prompted the four of us to investigate configurations of book shelves or, s(h)elfies (sel...
This study examines transnationalism in multicultural children’s
literature with significant Muslim-themed content to investigate
whether depictions of Muslim migrant characters in children’s
narratives reflect contemporary life in the United States.
This paper opens up a perspective for viewing the effect of globalization on ethnic restaurants in a college town, Bloomington, at Indiana, in the US. While existing scholarship on shop signs were focused on interpreting signages that are mostly visible from the exterior (e.g. Collins & Slembrouck, 2007 ; Malinowski, 2009 ; Ong, Ghesquière, & Serwe...

These include the delivery of lessons and forms of communication. In this chapter, I provide a visual narrative of my expe...
This article provides a practical guide for teaching visual analysis to university students. By adapting Serafini’s curricular and pedagogical framework for teaching multimodal representations to incorporate self-reflection, I evince how visual analysis can be taught in a writing course and similar introductory courses. Using a photograph that juxt...
Science simulations are popular among educators as such simulations afford
for multiple visual representation and interactivity. Despite the popularity
and abundance on the internet, our literature review suggested little research
has been conducted on the use of simulation in elementary school. Thus, an
exploratory pilot case study was conducted t...

Multimodality is the combination of semiotic modes that may include spoken language(s), written language(s), static or moving images and music. Each of them generally offers opportunities for the construction of meaning. In this research, a case study approa...
