{"product_id":"9781036457518","title":"A Multimodal Exploration of Non-Fiction Read-Aloud Performances in English as an Additional Language","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores how children and adults co-construct meaning during non-fiction picturebook read-aloud performances in English as an Additional Language context. At a time when non-fiction picturebooks are receiving growing attention for their potential to communicate knowledge in creative and engaging ways, this volume takes a closer look at how these books can be mediated for children's language education.The book draws on the TALES (Telling and Listening to Eco-sustainable Stories) initiative organized by the Teacher education Department of the University of Udine (Italy) in collaboration with the local Natural History Museum. Focusing on mediation as a dynamic, multimodal process, the book examines how storytellers use spoken language, gesture, gaze, voice, facial expressions and props to scaffold children's comprehension and invite active participation. While the findings are context-specific, they may inform educators, researchers, and teacher educators interested in multimodal mediation for communicating knowledge and information through non-fiction picturebooks in contexts where English as an additional language is used.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge Scholars Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48265697493227,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":215.8,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781036457518-1.jpg?v=1785756820","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781036457518","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
