Résumé
The initial training of teachers should contemplate in their programs the development of the multimodal competencies of the future teachers since they will be the ones who will promote those competencies in their students. This research has favored the creation of knowledge about the use of comics as a tool to enhance the development of multimodal communication skills in higher education. The study was carried out through an action-research process during two academic courses with the participation of 71 students in the first year and 130 in the second one. The creation of comics by students reflects their potential to develop both critical thinking skills and multimodal literacy. However, we must clarify and take into account that the creation of comics requires understanding and knowing the visual semiotics, grammar and linguistic tools of this medium. Being a complex and new process for most students, it is advisable to plan scaffolding activities in which feedback is conceived as a fundamental factor for the achievement of learning objectives.
