Editors’ Introduction
Thematic Numbers Editors:
Dr. Sonja Starc, Nickolas Komninos
The current thematic issue of the Journal of Elementary Education fits into perspective by discussing multimodal texts in modern communication with the aim of showing how we perceive and deal with multimodal texts in our (Slovene, Italian, Spanish, Finnish, South African) cultural environment and how and how much we include them in the school system. At the same time, we want to stimulate a critical discussion within the aforementioned discourse. Thematically, the articles are linked to the theoretical research of multimodal texts and the connection with school learning, as well as case studies of analyses of the use of semiotic means in picture books and textbook texts to express a message (socially sensitive topics - gender stereotypes - and humour). Discussions are based on the Systemic Functional and visual grammar and other theoretical aspects.
