ABSTRACT

With the continuous development of educational technology, the combination of multimodal teaching pedagogies and teaching aids has become a trend. The significant advantages of multimodal pedagogy applied to teaching aids are the enhancement of students' learning ability, practicality, and a screening mechanism that meets users’ mental expectations. However, this pedagogy also suffers from difficulty in engaging students’ attention, processing the information conveyed, and dealing with more complex information transformation processes. This paper takes the Tencent Mr. English app as an example to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of combining multimodal pedagogy and teaching aid apps and provides a prediction regarding the prospects of this pedagogy.
