Resumen

Enseñar lenguas en el siglo veintiuno implica prestar atención a las demandas pedagógicas multimodales de un mundo digital global. Para alcanzar este objetivo, la enseñanza efectiva del inglés requiere una preparación de los instructores para guiar de manera consciente el desarrollo de la literacidad de los alumnos e integrar las distintas maneras de construir significado que van mucho más allá del mero uso de la lengua. Este artículo suscribe la noción de literacidad como un concepto multidimensional y propone un conjunto de herramientas multimodales como medio para que los maestros de inglés como lengua extranjera (ILE) trabajen con elementos literarios y visuales clave. Centrándonos en la lectura de The Snow Lion (Helmore and Jones 2017), analizamos la relación característica entre palabras e imágenes que define el álbum ilustrado e implementamos la pedagogía de las multiliteracidades, que consta de cuatro procesos de conocimiento, esto es, experimentar, conceptualizar, analizar y aplicar. El objetivo final es guiar a jóvenes estudiantes en la producción de significados y en el pensamiento crítico en el marco del aula de ILE a través del análisis e interpretación de los álbumes ilustrados.
