Second Language Cultural Negotiation and Visual Literacy looks at
the theory behind cultural learning at the intersection of culture,
visuals, and emotions and offers a theoretical and practical
foundation upon which teachers can build. Bringing to light
theoretical work from multilingual sources, this book illuminates
the process of second language cultural negotiation as subjective,
affective, and reliant on imagination and applies this theoretical
basis to using comics inside and outside the classroom. It
re-examines the popular Vygotskian concept of meaning making in the
Zone of Proximal Development and identifies sequential art as a
unique and legitimate academic medium that can enable cultural
negotiation in a diverse and increasingly globalized society. This
book explores the mechanism employed by English language learners
reading comics to make meaning. Lapidus establishes
interdisciplinary research as a valuable form of research and draws
upon the concept of multiliteracies to illuminate the multimodal
nature of meaning making. Presenting theory and its practical
ramifications, this book will be of interest to undergraduate and
graduate students, language teachers, and anyone who enjoys
exploring the way humans learn.
