Abstract

Nowadays, EFL teachers continually strive to improve their efforts to provide learners with multimodal resources in the classroom due to the rapid development of the digital era in the language learning environment. Digital Multimodal Composing (DMC) has been proposed to be an engaging tool in language learning to provoke learners' exploration and understanding of the various text topics. This current paper reports findings on the perspective of in-service EFL teachers regarding the use of the DMC in secondary classrooms. It is necessary to get the views from the teachers on DMC usage in the classroom by considering the elements of text design such as linguistics, audio, visual, gestural, and spatial modes. The qualitative case study was employed in this study by having 6 in-service EFL teachers from Central Java, Indonesia as the participants. The questionnaire and interview were used to gather the data. The findings show positive and negative perception. For example, the participants are aware of the literacy changing from traditional to multimodal composing regarding the elements design. They tend to utilize video and English movies as the materials. They prefer employing video projects and posters as DMC tasks to build learners' motivation. DMC can emotionally provoke the learner's interest and understanding of the genre-based text. Another perception is related to the adequacy of the DMC as materials preparation. The findings significantly recommend cultivating the EFL teacher's readiness to cope with digital multimodal text usage in the classroom.
