Abstract

This paper analyzes the previous related and relevant studies on multimodal literacy and multimodal assignments in the Indonesian EFL context. Multimodal pedagogy is a topic that is frequently discussed by many scholars, considering its importance in helping learners of English, including within the Indonesian context, navigating better comprehension and class participation. Therefore, this analytical review paper is conducted by looking at the selected most recent fourteen studies published over the past few years, with a specific focus on multimodality and settings in EFL classrooms in Indonesia, as well as highlighting diverse participants involved in research. The result shows that most teachers and learners of English in Indonesia recognize multimodal literacy practices when they occur in the classrooms, such as in the form of videos and PowerPoint slides. Moreover, it can be found that multimodality offers opportunities for better English teaching for teachers and better English learning for students because it improves students’ motivation. Furthermore, some challenges incorporating multimodal practices in classes are also discussed—for example, limitations to digital and technological resources and students’ vocabularies. In conclusion, multimodal literacy practices are highly recommended in Indonesian EFL classrooms because multimodality is effective.
