Abstract
This chapter is a reflective teaching experience of incorporating multimodal strategies in English literature and composition writing courses to undergraduate students at Algerian and American universities. What this chapter primarily aspires to do, particularly, is to outline an account on how the teaching of different fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, such as Romantic poetry by William Wordsworth and Modernist poetry by by T.S. Eliot, fosters a conscious interest in the natural environment and its crises. The instructors propose the inclusion of a variety of multimodal texts on the environment to allow students to better understand environmental related issues such as climate change and drought. This chapter will reflect on the teaching experiences of two instructors from different locations and include the course design employed in the teaching of different forms of literature. The chapter also provides the selected texts and the instructors' teaching recommendations.
