Video-Mediated Listening and Multiliteracies

Multiliteracies is an innovative approach that helps understanding learning and teaching processes in current times. Besides, how these processes take place in new societies, regarding multiplicity and diversity in changing contexts, situations, meaning sources and discourses. Based on the need to explore the incidence of multiliteracies in EFL education, this study presents the ways in which video-mediated listening activities contribute to the construction of new meanings in an EFL setting. This qualitative action research was carried out at a private school of Rivera, Huila with 11 th grade students. Pedagogical interventions involved all students (16), nonetheless convenience sampling was used to narrow research data to six participants. The goal was to analyze how the construction of meaning was developed through the implementation of video-mediated listening activities under a multiliteracies approach. Data were collected through field notes, pupil diaries, interviews and students’ artifacts obtained from class implementations. The findings show that students established interactions with different sources of information provided by the videos that enabled them to create and disclose new meanings derived from their transformed interpretations. The results also shed light on how video-mediated listening activities foster students’ understandings of their own learning processes.
