ABSTRACT

This paper focuses on the multimodal synergistic strategy in high school English teaching. It first briefly reviews the relevant concepts and theories of multimodality and multimodal teaching. On this basis, it employs cases from text books published by People's Education Press to illustrate how to exert the synergistic effect of multimodal teaching to guide English teaching practice from the perspectives of the English core qualities—listening, speaking, reading, viewing, and writing. The introduction and application of multimodal theory into English teaching practice is conducive to further promoting the "student-centered" English teaching reform, and plays a positive role in the cultivation of high school students' thinking and the improvement of core literacy.
