Leonzini Luisella (2012) Speaking through the images of The Economist. When the visual language becomes a useful tool to activate and improve communicative competence, In Taylor, C. Gori, F.

No full textThe purpose of this paper is to provide reasons why the use of multimodal tools
may improve the productive skill of speaking in the process of learning a foreign
language.
I will start by exploring how communication, as a process of interaction which
involves participants (producer, receiver) giving, receiving and sharing information,
discussing (agreeing, disagreeing) and negotiating over the message/s, cannot
be efficiently organised and developed if the interactors lack competence.
I will summarize how, in the last sixty years, various scholars have elaborated
the concept of competence as a multi-faceted system of knowledge and skills
(linguistic, sociolinguistic, pragmatic, strategic, organisational) aimed at language
and communication performance.
I will proceed by focussing on the communicative approach, among the various
methods and approaches to language learning, as a valid instrument to develop
knowledge about language and knowledge about how to use it, in terms of
communicative competence. I will examine the reasons why this approach may
be considered appropriate to shape a communicative syllabus.
I will explain how I organised a communicative syllabus for an English course
at the Faculty of Education (University of Trieste) in the Communication Sciences
degree course. I will give reasons for the choice I first made to work on how The Economist uses the verbal mode, and why I secondly decided to extend my analysis
to why the images in the British magazine may be useful tools to practise the
productive skill of speaking.
Finally, I will provide an example, by analysing a cover of the magazine, of how
Halliday’s systemic functional approach to the verbal language, can be adapted
and employed when working on multimodal discourse, where the verbal and the
visual mode coexist, thus giving learners some practical and functional instruments
to develop linguistic, pragmatic, and sociolinguistic competence, thus
building effective communication as intended by Dell Hymes (1972)
