Multimodality can be successful in engaging and persuading learners. Teachers who seek ways to use different modes seen in children’s play – image, movement, music, position of people and objects in the space, spoken or sung words – can enrich learning. Multimodal analysis of videos of play might lead to a better realisation of each child’s conceptual understanding, and validate the power of intercultural dynamics as a form of agency that enhances learning and creativity.
