Using the Formulaic Language of Comics as a Teaching Tool
Wednesday, May 29, 2019 at 8:30 AM–9:15 AM EDT add to calendar
Carlisle
Session Abstract
Multiliteracy narratives contain formulaic language, e.g., idiomatic expressions and interactional patterns. A confluence of language and culture, comics embody good learning opportunities in terms of vocabulary, grammar, and pragmatics, all heavily saturated with formulaic language. Come learn how to turn the formulaic language used in comics into a teaching tool!
