Humor and Language Play: Multimodal Literacy Practices and Student Learning
Fri, December 2, 8:45 to 10:15am, Omni Nashville, Floor: Level 2, Broadway Ballroom ASession Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium includes three talks addressing how a participatory culture is created by students’ use of playful discourse and humor, opening a learning space in which they can freely explore new ideas. We aim to extend understanding of the relationship between emotion and learning, as positive emotions have been shown to generate more expansive cognitive processes and students’ uses of humor and playful language in different multimodal classroom activities support creative, joyful approaches to literacy.
