Abstract

The research aims at investigating the effects of different modalities and combinations of them on English Listening Teaching, exploring the factors influencing the pattern of multimodality with optimal function and setting practical example to improve the quality of English Listening Teaching. The result shows that reasonable utilization of the combination of multimodalities can improve learners’ listening competence; the choice of the combination of multimodalities depends on the context of situation; visual information can give play to positive function providing that it is complementary to auditory information; In addition, L2 subtitling is more beneficial than L1 because it causes less lexical interference.
