• we are living in the advent of internet and the digital

revolution, where people tend to focus on anything
visuals

Why is viewing embraced in the academe?
• It is an easy way for the teacher to be guided
while discussing since viewing could help the
teacher ease the pain from talking throughout
the period.
• Students rely much in it and often become more
focus and active in comparison with their
response when presenting them a single
modality material such as plain literature text.
12
 Why is viewing embraced in the academe?
• Majority of texts students are accessing outside the
classroom are visual texts and multimodal texts which use
images.

• It helps students acquire information and appreciate ideas

and experiences visually communicated by others.

• It enhances the execution of the lesson proper.
