Educational preparation is currently steered by two oppositional
forces in contemporary society: global connectedness and local
diversity. The traditional notion that literacy entails the
technical ability to decode abstract letters in order to recognise
and form words and sentences is contested by the pedagogy of
multiliteracies - that there is a wealth of linguistic and cultural
pluralism in the world and that people can be part of multiple life
contexts that overlap in interest, affiliation and education.
Multiliteracies in education develops a pedagogical framework to
weave multiliteracies into the fabric of the South African
classroom. Multiliteracies in education takes the approach that
knowledge is contextually situated and rapidly changing and
diverse, which calls for new skills and flexibility, and the
ability to work in teams. Chapters are sequenced according to the
four pillars of the multiliteracies framework: overt instruction,
situated practice, critical framing and transformed practice.
