Mange lærere ønsker å bruke film i engelskundervisningen, men ser kanskje ikke umiddelbart hvordan dette kan forankres i læreplanmål eller hvilke arbeidsmåter man kan velge. Denne artikkelen ser på hvordan Kunnskapsløftet (2017) åpner for mer bruk av film og hvilke muligheter som ligger i å se elevenes forkunnskaper om visuelle tekster og sjangre som bidrag i byggingen av literacy-kompetanse. Det vises til forskning og utviklingsarbeid innen kunstfagene som fremholder viktigheten av at elever får utvikle språk til å fortelle historier basert på visuelle inntrykk (Bamford, 2008; Yenawine, 2014). Det beskrives videre hvordan lærere kan overføre lesestrategier fra disse fagene til engelskundervisningen for å gi elevene bedre rammer for å forstå og bruke film og andre visuelle narrative tekster i en språkfaglig sammenheng. Artikkelen ser nærmere på hvordan sjangerlære (Mjør et. al., 2006; Stafford, 2011) kan være et møtepunkt mellom film og skjønnlitteratur. Å integrere film bedre i engelskfaget kan også bidra til å styrke elevenes metakognitive kompetanse. Metodene som beskrives illustrerer hvordan visuelle tekster og kunnskap om læringsstrategier og forståelse for egne læringsprosesser i møte med slike tekster kan utløse mer kritisk tenkning og selvstendig læring.Nøkkelord: film, literacy, lesestrategier, sjangerlære, eventyr, fantasy, kritisk tenkning.Reading filmsAbstractThis article addresses teachers who are looking to integrate film into their English syllabus and who are searching for related methods that will enable them to fulfil both subject and core curriculum aims (Kunnskapsløftet 2017). I explore methods and approaches for the utilization of Norwegian students’ extensive knowledge of visual texts and genres in the teaching of literacy and metacognitive competence. The discussion draws on research and teaching practices that demonstrate how arts integration into other subjects facilitates student output and metacognitive and higher order thinking (Bamford, 2008; Yenawine, 2014). My emphasis is on the combined use of reading comprehension and visual thinking strategies in the teaching of film in EFL courses and I propose genre-based teaching (Mjør et al., 2006; Stafford, 2011) as a viable approach to a more comprehensive literacy instruction, including both literary and film narratives. I also look at how encouraging the transfer of students’ prior knowledge of film and narrative patterns can contribute to greater learner autonomy.Keywords: film, literacy, reading strategies, visual thinking strategies, genre-based teaching, critical thinking.

Studies in the field of semiotics and children’s literature have described the relationship between the verbal and visual texts in picture books as both complex and subtle. These relationships are named differently across theories, yet they still note two possibilities, whether they support or are against each other in conveying meanings to the readers. This study seeks to explore the relations between visual-verbal modes depicted in a children’s picture book entitled Just Ask (author/illustrator by Sotomayor Lopez, 2019), viewed from the perspective of multimodality as proposed by Unsworth (2006). The analysis between the visual and verbal modes in the picture book is focused on ideational concurrence and ideational complementarity. The results indicate that meanings in Just Ask are negotiated through verbal and visual texts which may be complementary or have divergent relationships to one another. It is through such strategy that the suggested theme of the picture book, in this case accepting diversity, is consistently conveyed to the targeted readers.  Since picture books are used vastly in EFL/ESL classrooms to enhance students’ reading experiences, this study may help teachers develop students’ ability to make meaning from verbal and visual texts and inspire their visual thinking strategies.

Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) is a methodology designed to teach critical thinking, communication, and visual literacy. The Fine Art of Health Care is a VTS-based educational program that brings students from various health-care disciplines to the Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami in Florida. Twenty-six nurse anesthesia, medical, physical therapy, nursing, and psychology students participated in the workshop during the 2016 fall semester. The students completed an anonymous survey to evaluate their experience. All participants agreed or strongly agreed that VTS helped them understand how to hone their observational and listening skills; 92% agreed that looking at and discussing art has merit with regards to collaborative practice; 96% agreed that VTS helped them improve their communication skills; and 93% found value in the VTS workshop because it provided opportunity to meet and have discussions with students from other disciplines. The arts and humanities have long been recognized as important tools for building multidisciplinary collaboration in health education. There is growing evidence that integrating the arts into the nursing curriculum can have powerful outcomes. These capabilities proved useful in the nurse anesthesia curriculum by allowing skillful conceptualization, and originality and leveling of the playing field for all health-care students.
