Resumen en español

Multimodality involves different forms or modes of expression, among which we mainly find the visual, linguistic, spatial, aural and gestural modes. Even several studies have been conducted analyzing those modes, but separately, our point is that converging these modes in the same social interaction helps the participants to create meaning. Facilitating target language comprehensibility is a core practice based on strategies that the teacher makes use of with the aim of getting students to obtain a better understanding of the target language and to facilitate its meaning, it follows 3 stages, create comprehensible language, create context for comprehension and create comprehensible interaction. These 3 stages help educators to achieve significant interactions in the L2 classroom and converging the different multimodal modes while implementing this practice can improve the performance of the social interactions. Considering this, this study aimed to explore how the merge of multimodal modes facilitate target language comprehensibility. To achieve that, many research articles guided us during the investigation. For the data collection procedures an EFL class was analyzed, the participants were a pre-service teacher and his students when doing his teaching practices. The data collection method used was video viewing and to show the results we used transcriptions with the conversation analysis method (CA). The results of this investigation showed that merging the multimodal modes makes easier for students and teachers create meaning and facilitates target language comprehensibility
