What constitutes appropriate literacy teaching in the context of the ever more
critical factors of local diversity and global connectedness?
MULTILITERACIES
1. Multiplicity of communication channels and media
2. Increasing salience of cultural and linguistic diversity
Pedagogy of Multiliteracies
Literacy Multiliteracies
• Centered on language only
• usually on a singular national form of language.
• Focuses on modes of representation much broader than language alone:o Multimodal
meaning-making
o Multimodal text design
o A focus on cultural and linguistic diversity
Multimodality
« The combination of different semiotic modes in a
communicative artefact or event » (Leeuwen, 2005, p.
281)
