The use of images accompanying texts is believed to support reading comprehension and facilitate learning. Despite their widespread use, very little is known about how the presentation of multiple input sources affects the attentional demands and the underlying cognitive processes involved. This paper provides a review of research on multimodal reading, with a focus on attentional processing. It first introduces the relevant theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence provided in support of the use of pictures in reading. It then reviews studies that have looked at the processing of text and pictures in first and second language contexts. Based on this review, main gaps in research and future research directions are identified. The discussion provided in this paper aims at advancing research on multimodal reading in a second language. Achieving a better understanding of the underlying cognitive processes in multimodal reading is crucial to inform pedagogical practices and to develop theoretical accounts of second language multimodal reading. date: 2022-09-04 date_type: published publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company official_url: https://doi.org/10.1075/itl.21039.pel oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1914149 doi: 10.1075/itl.21039.pel lyricists_name: Pellicer Sanchez, Ana lyricists_id: APELL07 actors_name: Pellicer Sanchez, Ana actors_id: APELL07 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: ITL - International Journal of Applied Linguistics citation: Pellicer Sanchez, Ana; (2022) Multimodal reading and second language learning.
