Abstract

Multimodal literacy involves using multiple communication modes in text comprehension and production. This review examines sound and music in research on multimodal literacy, analyzing 48 pieces from Web of Science and Scopus databases. It identifies common methods and educational aspects in the texts and explores how multimodal literacy is applied in academic settings, focusing on the implications that it may have for music education. The study highlights the versatility of the aural mode, encompassing sound effects, vocalizations, music, and more. However, some studies merely use sound as "background music" without considering its communicative role. This research contributes to understanding sound's implications and its potential in engaging students in a multimodal society. © 2023 Universitat de Valencia, Faculty of Teaching.
