Book Chapter: Facilitating Authentic and Creative English as a Foreign Language Expression Through Digital Multimodal Composing

TitleFacilitating Authentic and Creative English as a Foreign Language Expression Through Digital Multimodal Composing
Authors
Issue Date4-Apr-2024
Abstract

Many English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing courses focus on linguistic knowledge and writing strategies, providing little room for students to express their preferred content with various modes of information. Such restrictions would lead to students’ reluctance and anxiety about undertaking EFL writing. This chapter presents how digital multimodal composing (DMC) encourages authentic and creative expressions in EFL writing by means of a multimodal creative writing workshop. After the workshop and the video-making activity, the students were required to complete a 300-word essay in English. The data collected from focus group interviews showed that DMC provided opportunities for authentic and creative EFL expressions. One of the students also manifested transferable digital and writing skills in extramural video-making tasks.
