CD-ROM multimodal affordances: classroom interaction perspectives in the Malaysian English literacy hour

Sheena Gardner; Aizan Yaacob

CD-ROM affordances are explored in this article through participation in classroom interaction. CD-ROMs for shared reading of animated stories and language work were introduced to all Malaysian primary schools in 2003 for the Year 1 English Literacy Hour. We present classroom interaction extracts that show how the same CD-ROMs offer different affordances in their support of seven teaching styles differentiated along eight dimensions. The meaning potential of the CD-ROMs emerges as teachers make salient different combinations of modes in the materials. Despite these interactional differences, the introduction of CD-ROMs is essentially a ‘benign addition’ in that it generates interest and motivation among students and is appreciated by teachers for ‘lightening the load’, but has done little to transform traditional ways of teaching in these Year 1 classrooms: there was no evidence of the increased interaction and student participation desired by the Ministry. Our findings resonate with research internationally which calls for clear guidelines about ‘what works’. Our classification of teaching styles based on interactions afforded by the Malaysian CD-ROMs enables us to identify what might work in different contexts.

Articles on innovative research development and discussions on sustainable issues in art and design education research are welcomed by editors and publishers for the reason that sharing of knowledge would encourage beneficial development and advancement of arts and design education and research. Simultaneously, writers of journal articles in the other disciplines are putting vigorous effort into publishing their articles to the extent that promotional strategies are used to appeal to the interest of the readers, and editors in turn increase the possibility of publication and citation. Although studies found promotional strategies have permeated into the journal articles in science and technologies disciplines, not much has been discussed on whether the arts and design academicians promote their work in their journal article writing. Motivated that the understanding of the utilization of the promotional strategy in journal article writing would benefit the art and design writers in publishing their work, this chapter investigated the use of promotional strategies in art and design research articles. Putting the findings side by side, it was found that the visual arts articles utilized more recommended strategies in their writing compared to the performing arts articles. Compared to the performing art articles, the visual arts articles were found using more strategies that indicated the research gap and strategies that stated the value of their work. Although the finding cannot be generalized to all journal articles in performing arts and visual arts articles due to the small sampling, the understanding from this study is useful for arts and design writers particularly in writing their articles for publication.
