| Abstract | Can comics be described as an excellent ESL/EFL teaching and learning tool? This paper explores the formulaic nature of multiliteracy materials, with a particular focus on comics and similar visual narratives, to describe their potential as language learning/teaching tools. Building on the New London Group’s concept of multiliteracies (1996), it looks at the theoretical foundation for using multiliteracy materials such as comics in the classroom and offers specific examples of how recognizing the formulaic nature of such narratives can support the second/foreign language acquisition and cultural negotiation process. Notably, the paper looks at the formulaic from several perspectives, including the traditional definitions of formulaic language (such as common collocations, idioms, and so forth) and the formulaic structure of visual narratives as designed discourses and texts. The positive impact on learners’ personal linguaculture and intercultural personhood is illuminated in this article. |
